Student Services

ISU has an all school, full time Counselor to assist our students. The counselor can be seen in a drop-in situation or an appointment can be made. We encourage parents with concerns regarding their child to contact the respective head of school and the counselor should they feel assistance from the counselor would benefit their child. 

ISU also has full time Inclusive Education (IE) specialist teachers, both in the primary and the secondary school. These specialists work closely with the teachers and educational assistants to give support and guidance to those students who require the extra support. 

As in most international schools, ISU has English as Additional Language (EAL) specialist teachers to support those students needing extra assistance with their language proficiency. They work closely with the programme coordinators, the heads of school, and the teachers to give the best assistance possible to the students in need. 

The Student Support Team (SST) meet regularly to discuss the best possible support that can be given to those students who need it. The Counselor, the IE specialists, the EAL teachers, the IB Coordinators and Head of Secondary as appropriate attend these regular meetings to consult with one another to be sure that the services are appropriate for each of the students receiving them and to recommend further steps as they determine to be appropriate.
