The Shattuck-St. Mary's International School Vietnam provides a Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) program based on the CASEL framework. The program aims to help students understand and manage their emotions, build meaningful relationships, and make responsible, empathetic decisions. Outcomes include strong emotional intelligence, improved interpersonal skills, and resilience that support learning and overall wellbeing. SEL is implemented across Kindergarten, Elementary, and Secondary levels and is connected with After School Activities and other student-life initiatives. Counseling services are available as part of the school's holistic student-support ecosystem.
The school does not publicly disclose information regarding Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision. There is no SEN policy or listed SEN facilities in publicly accessible materials. The school is not described as a specialist SEN institution. As a result, it is not clear which kinds of SEN the school can support or how such support would be delivered. If you require SEN information, please request the most current official statements from the admissions office.
Evidence of English as an Additional Language (EAL) support exists in the staff roster. The Our Team listing includes an English Language Learners role and English Language Arts (ELA) teachers among the faculty. Examples include an English Language Learners position and ELA teaching roles. This indicates that EAL support is integrated into the teaching model. Detailed public descriptions of an EAL program are not published.
Mental wellbeing is addressed through the SEL program, which is CASEL-based. The Health Center is on campus and staffed by licensed nurses who provide immediate care and coordinate health protocols during campus events, contributing to students' physical and mental wellbeing. Health policies include weather and air-quality guidelines, management of food allergies, and procedures for illness during the day. Counseling is listed as a student-life resource, and a guidance counselor appears among the staff, indicating formal mental-health support within the school. Together, SEL, counseling, and on-site health services form a holistic approach to student wellbeing.
Public safeguarding and child-protection policies are not publicly disclosed. The Health Center emphasizes health and safety measures, including weather and air-quality guidelines, food-allergy protocols, and illness procedures, as part of safeguarding the school community. Media reports in January 2026 indicate Hai Phong authorities ordered Shattuck-St. Mary's Vietnam to stop enrollment and halt educational activities pending licensing. The same reports note enrollments occurred without official decisions approving establishment or operation. The regulatory status raised questions about safeguarding and student protections during this transitional period.
