Emotional education, inclusion & wellbeing.
Empowering every student to thrive emotionally and academically
We want all children to enjoy school and develop a love of learning. 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 ISCB, 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.
Special Needs Education
ISCB’s Learning Support department is led by qualified SEND practitioners who closely monitor the progress of all our students from the point of entry. At ISCB, we ensure that no student is left behind, tailoring and designing both the curriculum and individual learning journeys so that every student achieves their full potential and fulfils their dreams and aspirations.
We collaborate closely with families, teachers and other relevant professionals and agencies to ensure that every aspect influencing the child’s development is considered. When ongoing specialised attention is deemed necessary, ISCB collaborates with external professionals to ensure that specific needs are met.
Our school policy ensures that parents and other significant family members participate in and are involved in all interventions, to guarantee optimum support, inclusion and development in every instance.
UNICEF Rights of the Child
ISCB is a UNICEF Rights Respecting School. We aim to protect and promote the rights of ALL children. The rights of the child guide our thinking in the formulation and application of our school policies and practice.
