Emotional education, inclusion & wellbeing.
Our students’ emotional well-being is fundamental to their academic achievement. Both in and out of class, our students are supported by a team of highly qualified teachers and specialist practitioners.
Inclusion & wellbeing
Language support
Upon arrival, teachers assess each student’s language proficiency to determine the appropriate placement. Our ultimate goal is to consistently support the student’s language acquisition journey, guiding them towards fluency in the language.
Students who do not have a strong grasp of English receive specific attention in small groups during their initial year with us. Throughout this first year, teachers assist them in catching up and having the level of English that allows them to access their lessons’ main content.
Bullying prevention
At ISM we aim to nurture and develop SELF-ESTEEM, EMOTIONAL RESILIENCE, POSITIVE SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS and INDEPENDENCE. Our approach to Bullying is based on SOCIAL PEDAGOGY and RESTORATIVE PRACTICE. Protecting our students from any kind of abuse is one of the priorities of International School Costa Brava.
Please refer to the Anti-bullying Policy.
