Student Support at MYIS
At MYIS, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed. We welcome students with a range of backgrounds, abilities, and needs, and our student support services are designed to ensure that all learners can thrive socially, emotionally, and academically.
School Counseling
Our counseling services address both social-emotional well-being and future pathways. In Elementary, teachers and counselors work together to guide students in developing self-awareness, resilience, and positive relationships. In Secondary, our counselor also supports students with academic planning, career exploration, and university applications. While school counseling is not therapy, we partner with parents and, when needed, connect families with external professionals for additional support.
English as an Additional Language (EAL)
We recognize that a student’s potential should not be limited by their level of English. English is the language of instruction at MYIS, and we provide support to help students develop confidence and fluency. EAL support may be offered in small-group sessions or within the classroom, and our EAL and classroom teachers work closely together to ensure students can access the curriculum while building essential language skills.
Learning Support
When students require additional learning support, our team works in collaboration with teachers, parents, and specialists to provide strategies and interventions that best meet the child’s needs. Support is tailored to the individual, with the goal of building skills, confidence, and independence within the classroom and beyond.
