AITIS integrates social and emotional development throughout daily school life. The school counselor provides guidance sessions and supports students experiencing immediate or ongoing challenges that affect learning. The House System in the Elementary section promotes teamwork, healthy competition, and social interaction, while activities such as assemblies, class discussions, and project-based learning foster cooperation and responsibility. Parent‑Teacher Conferences and the Friday Folder / Weekly Notes system also encourage communication between home and school, supporting students’ social and emotional growth.
AITIS provides support for students with mild learning difficulties through its Special Education and Support Learning Program, which can offer up to four lessons per week. Students are admitted based on previous records, assessments, and the ability to follow the regular curriculum with limited assistance. The school can support students with mild learning challenges but cannot accommodate students with low cognitive functioning, significant physical disabilities, conduct disorders, or combined learning and language limitations. It is not a specialist SEN institution and does not provide modified grades, alternative diplomas, or physical/occupational therapy.
AITIS provides English support through its ESL (English as a Second Language) program, which places students in beginner, intermediate, or advanced levels based on an initial English assessment. Support may include one‑on‑one pull‑out sessions or in‑class assistance, and students can exit the program after demonstrating sufficient progress. This program is designed for students who are new to English but capable of following the regular curriculum with support.
The school’s counselor offers individual guidance and responds to students experiencing stress, emotional challenges, or crises during the school year.

AITIS implements child safety and protection measures through staff supervision, emergency procedures, and clear conduct rules.
