Daegu International School provides a K-12 Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) program led by the SEL Counselor (Ms. Spaeth); the counselor meets with students to guide their personal growth, collaborates with teachers and parents, creates a safe space for emotional processing, and serves as a team member for safeguarding.

English is the language of instruction at DIS, with the curriculum delivered solely in English; a separate EAL program is not described on the site.
