Student Support

Personalised Learning Approach

At our international school, we provide students with the support they need in order to set and meet individual learning targets. Differentiation is an integral part of teaching and learning and may involve utilising:

• collaborative and cooperative learning methods
• a variety of learning practices
• creative approaches to teaching and learning
• differing formats and modes of exploring and presenting knowledge 
• additional checks to ensure understanding

However, in cases where students require instruction beyond regular teaching practices, learning support is provided. Following the school’s Learning diversity/Inclusion policy, the student’s learning needs are considered on an individual basis and, when necessary, Learning Support is provided by our successful Learning Support team.

Learning Support

By definition, every child is unique and has different learning needs. Among educators, the ongoing process that increases access and engagement in learning is known as inclusion. Furthermore, the generic term ‘learning support’ rather than ‘Special Educational Needs’ (SEN) has been adopted in SIS, as we feel it caters best for the wide spectrum of learning needs along a continuum.

Additional Learning Needs

Within an international school, as in any classroom, there are students with additional/special educational needs who require instruction beyond what the regular classroom curriculum can provide. At SIS, these needs are considered on an individual basis following the school’s Learning Support policy. Please contact our helpful team if you would like to discuss how the school can cater for your child’s specific needs.
