Chadwick International School

Chadwick International supports Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) as part of a whole‑child approach to education. The school promotes Core Values of Respect, Responsibility, Honesty, Fairness and Compassion, and emphasizes recognizing the needs and feelings of others and making informed, thoughtful decisions. Students are encouraged to challenge themselves while supporting peers in both successes and setbacks, fostering belonging and resilience. Global Programs contribute to SEL by exposing students to international perspectives and leadership opportunities through IDEALS (Internationalism, Democracy, Environmentalism, Adventure, Leadership and Service), Model United Nations and Global Issues Network, which cultivate collaboration, communication and empathy. Student leadership is supported through opportunities such as Student Council across all grade levels, and service‑learning is an integral part of the Chadwick International experience. The overall approach blends experiential learning with social‑emotional development across academics and co‑curricular activities.

The Village School ESOL (English to Speakers of Other Languages) program provides focused language acquisition support based on each student's needs, and English is the language used for teaching and learning. Immersing Village School students in the target language fosters inclusion, improves proficiency and yields the confidence to communicate on a global level. Students access the core curriculum in mainstream classrooms with individualized support that includes assessing language proficiency, collaborative planning of coursework and instructional methods across subjects, focused language goals, and one‑on‑one teaching and small group work. The campus includes dedicated student support centers as part of the Spine, indicating formal student support infrastructure. The school does not publicly disclose information regarding the kinds of Special Educational Needs it can support or whether it is a specialist SEN institution.

Village School provides English language support through the ESOL program, which offers focused language acquisition assistance based on each student's needs. English is the language of instruction and learning, with ESOL designed to foster inclusion and improve proficiency for multilingual students. ESOL support includes language proficiency assessment, collaborative planning across subjects, targeted language goals, and one‑on‑one or small‑group instruction to integrate language development with the core curriculum. English language learning is framed as a core component of Chadwick International's multilingual community, where English serves as the common thread linking diverse cultures. Language support is implemented within mainstream classrooms, enabling students to access the standard curriculum while receiving tailored help.

Chadwick International promotes the rights of the child to physical and psychological well‑being, and safeguarding policies underpin student protection. Suspected abuse should be reported by community members to division principals or counselors, who follow internal protocols to support the student; anonymous reporting is accessible via the Chadwick International Portal. The school maintains a health office, with a designated contact for student health matters, reflecting formal channels for wellbeing support. In addition to safeguarding, service learning and global programs contribute to wellbeing by fostering empathy, strong community bonds and purposeful engagement with others. Core values and opportunities for leadership and service also support students' social and emotional development within a caring school culture.

Chadwick International's safeguarding policies are supported by the Child Welfare Act in Korea and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which guide safeguarding and child‑protection approaches. All students, regardless of age, are covered by these safeguarding policies and should be protected from abuse. Suspected abuse is reported to division principals or counselors, who follow internal protocols to support the student, and anonymous reporting is available through the Chadwick International Portal for faculty, staff, parents and students. The school provides a health office contact for welfare and safety matters, reinforcing formal safeguarding and wellbeing structures. These safeguarding provisions are designed to ensure a safe, responsive environment for every student across all divisions.
