WIS provides weekly SEL classes for students from Kindergarten upwards, structured around the CASEL framework with a focus on self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. The school also offers social-emotional counseling, including routine, individual, and group sessions, accessible to students, parents, and staff via a counselor request form.
WIS supports students with mild special educational needs through inclusive practices and targeted interventions. A dedicated SEN specialist works collaboratively with students, teachers, and families to develop and implement Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) tailored to each student’s needs.
The school does support students whose first language is not English: it charges ELL (English Language Learner) tuition of THB 40,000 per semester and provides ELL classes or interventions based on admission testing and identified needs.
WIS integrates social-emotional counseling into its approach to student wellbeing, offering individual and group counseling in addition to SEL classes. There is no separate mention of a specific mental health or wellbeing program beyond that; thus, the school does not publicly disclose dedicated mental wellbeing programs apart from SEL and counseling.
Child safeguarding is described as WIS’s highest priority. The school employs safer recruitment practices, including background and reference checks, health checks, and police screening for all staff. Ongoing staff training includes annual EduCare safeguarding instruction and first aid/CPR training, as well as regular health services and immunization protocols.
