Wellbeing and Support

How students are nurtured, understood, and kept safe

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

The school provides an inclusive, personalized learning environment supported by the Psychological Department and the Psychopedagogical Department. It uses multidisciplinary teams ERI (Equipo Referente de Inclusión), DOA (Equipo de Orientación para el Aprendizaje), and EMOF (Equipo Multidisciplinario de Orientación Familiar). These programs work in a coordinated way to ensure each student receives emotional and academic support, adjusting pedagogical strategies as needed. The teams collaborate with teachers and families to support learning and development. The approach fosters inclusive learning and well-being, ensuring each student can develop to their maximum potential while respecting differences.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

The Psychopedagogical Department aims to facilitate learning for students with specific needs by adapting the curriculum and teaching methodologies to their requirements. Together with the Psychological Department, the psychopedagogical team supports teachers to ensure that support strategies are effective and appropriate. The department also evaluates and adjusts interventions to optimize the teaching–learning process, ensuring students can develop to their maximum within the framework of personalized education.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

The school offers a trilingual education in German, English, and Spanish. German is taught from early education, and English is introduced in the third year of Primary; from that point, English is taught through Secondary. For students with no prior knowledge of German, there is a two‑year integration program (Seiteneinsteigerkurse). There is also support for German tasks in small groups and a German course for parents via Zoom. The English program provides Cambridge exams (PET, FCE, CAE, CPE), and the school covers the cost of these exams for interested students. Spanish for beginners is available for students with no prior knowledge of Spanish.

Mental Wellbeing

The Psychological Department plays a crucial role in supporting students, working with the administration to assess and provide strategies, and offering personalized follow‑up in collaboration with external professionals. This department supports both teachers and students, providing emotional and academic backing as part of the school's approach to well‑being. The integrated, multidisciplinary framework ensures students receive ongoing, individualized attention to support their academic and personal development.

Safeguarding

Convivencia Escolar focuses on learning, working, and living together in a respectful and peaceful way, with a dedicated Team of Coexistence and Bullying Prevention. The team promotes healthy coexistence, prevents bullying, and acts effectively in conflicts. Actions include identifying strategies for healthy coexistence, implementing reporting mechanisms and measuring bullying across all sectors, and intervening in conflicts to maintain a respectful environment. Educational workshops equip students to resolve conflicts autonomously, and the school works with teachers, students, and families to raise awareness. Key tools include a bullying intervention protocol for all sectors and an updated Institutional Coexistence Agreement. The school reaffirms its commitment to a respectful, safe, and supportive community for all members.
