IB
International Schools Assessment (ISA)
Filipino, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish
Working from a team-based approach, a Learning Plan or an Individual Education Plan (IEP) is created and implemented to ensure that students, who require different teaching and assessment, receive intervention and reasonable accommodations, and are engaged in the program to the fullest extent possible. The team collaborates with the student’s parents, classroom teachers, and specialists as they address the student’s unique learning needs.
Students with special educational needs (SEN) are admitted given that their learning needs are documented by an external psychologist or other qualified specialists and that these can be supported within the range of provisions available through the Student Learning Services at the Beacon School.
