Wellbeing and Support

How students are nurtured, understood, and kept safe

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

KKFS supports social-emotional learning through Mindfulness Education, including Merlin Mindful Minutes, a daily schoolwide mindfulness routine recorded by students, teachers, administrators, and parents in multiple languages, and through a Social-emotional Counseling (SENCO) team that provides individual counseling, group sessions, and workshops, plus crisis intervention and collaboration with families and mental health professionals.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

SEN provision at KKFS is documented as Social-emotional Counseling (SENCO) across elementary to high school and Language Support (ELL); the school does not publicly disclose information about a dedicated specialist SEN facility beyond these services.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

The Language Support program follows the WIDA Standards and Assessments, with pull-out ELL and push-in ELL options; ELL teachers work with classroom teachers to align language instruction with the curriculum and support English learners in accessing grade-level content.

Mental Wellbeing

Mindfulness Education is a core component of mental wellbeing at KKFS, featuring Merlin Mindful Minutes and mindfulness practices across the community, with a dedicated channel of guided practices to support emotional regulation, focus, and resilience.

Safeguarding

KKFS maintains a Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy with regular faculty training and a culture of support and trust to protect the safety, well-being, and health of students.
