In SISOG, student well-being is central in a positive and inclusive environment. The school balances academic progress with emotional and social well-being and emphasizes equality, empathy, community, and a love of learning to support social-emotional development.
The SEN Department creates an inclusive learning environment and works with teachers, support staff and families to provide individualized support to foster holistic development. It focuses on smooth transitions, opportunities for self-expression and collaboration, and tailored academic progress. When needed, Individual Educational Plans (IEPs) are implemented with goals co-created by teachers and parents, and in more specialized cases families may be responsible for costs associated with personal assistance. Families considering SISOG for a child with identified needs are invited to meet with the SEN coordinator to discuss effective support.
