The ISF Academy employs a team of multi-disciplinary professionals to provide comprehensive learning support services for students from Foundation Year to Grade 12. The Learning Support Team (LST) promotes learning diversity and believes that all students can be successful when provided with the appropriate support for their individual needs. In both Primary and Secondary Schools, there are learning support and enrichment specialists who offer differentiated instructional programs for students with diverse learning styles and strengths. LST consists of Clinical and Educational Psychologists, Guidance Counselors, a Social Worker, a Student Guidance Officer, and School Nurses. They work together with teachers and parents to enhance students’ physical, social, emotional and academic development through a wide range of counseling and learning support initiatives. Walk-in chat room sessions are available to any student who may wish to share his/her feelings, thoughts, or concerns with a counselor in a safe place. LST also offers a variety of social groups, learning strategies workshops for parents and students, and after-school programs that foster life skills and boosts self-esteem.

Yes, guided by ISF core values, the Eight Virtues + One, the overarching goal of The ISF Inclusion (SEN) Policy is to ensure that every ISF learner can reach success in a safe, caring and supportive learning environment.

ISF is a bilingual school and we strive to equip our students with the language skills required to engage with the curriculum in both Chinese and English. In the Pre-School and Primary School, students are taught in mixed ability classes with Chinese as the dominant language of instruction. Teachers are expected to differentiate to meet the needs of our students. From Grade 2 onwards students seeking to enrol at ISF will need to have age-appropriate levels of fluency in both Chinese and English to perform well in the curriculum. In the Secondary School, students are placed into either a Language A or Language B program in accordance with their ability level.
