At TIS, we believe that every student has unique strengths and needs. Our comprehensive Student Support system is built on our core values and a commitment to a holistic approach that nurtures the whole child. We strive to trust in each student’s potential, to inspire them to overcome challenges, and to support them on their journey to success. We are dedicated to creating an environment where every student feels a sense of belonging and is empowered to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
We adopt an inclusive learning framework that provides tailored support for all students. Our goal is to meet learners where they are and provide the resources they need to reach their full potential.
Academic Support: We offer a range of academic support services for students with identified learning needs. This includes in-class support, small group instruction, and one-on-one sessions with our dedicated Learning Support team. We work to remove barriers and provide accommodations, such as extended time or assistive technology, to ensure equitable learning opportunities.
English as an Additional Language (EAL): For students from diverse linguistic backgrounds, our EAL program provides specialized instruction and support to help them gain confidence and proficiency in English, allowing them to fully access the curriculum. This includes in-class support, small group instruction, and differentiated classroom resources and activities.
Social and Emotional Wellness: Our counseling team works with students, families, and teachers to foster social-emotional health. We support students in developing self-awareness, managing emotions, building healthy relationships, and making responsible decisions. Our goal is to help them navigate the challenges of school and life with resilience.
Registered Nurse: For physical health needs, a fully qualified nurse is available during all school hours.
Student support at TIS is a collaborative effort. We work in close partnership with students, teachers, and families to understand individual needs and develop personalized support plans. We trust in this partnership to create a strong network of care, ensuring that students feel understood and inspired to succeed. Through ongoing communication and a shared commitment, we can help every student achieve their goals and become confident, lifelong learners.
