Pastoral Care – Student
“Total Well-being“
Putting students first in order to remove barriers to learning is the key responsibility of all staff at ADIS.
Through our commitment to holistic pastoral care, ADIS ensures that every student: achieves aspirational goals; can make decisions which lead to a healthy lifestyle; and can make positive contributions through active involvement in their learning and in the school and wider community.
At ADIS, what do we mean by ‘pastoral care’?
Inclusion and Gifted & Talented
Apart from students with special education needs, differentiated instruction strategies and activities are integrated throughout the curriculum to ensure that all students can develop and grow beyond their potential.
At ADIS, all of our students are valued and empowered based on their uniqueness as individuals. Our strength as a community is in our diversity.
Our outstanding Inclusion Department plans, implements, and monitors the provision of special education programs and related services to students with special needs and gifts and talents. This process is founded in the development and implementation of an Individual Education Program (IEP) or Advanced Learning Plan (ALP), based on strengths and needs to enhance their social competence and enable them to maximize their contributions to their communities. In addition, it is using multiple assessments tools to determine students’ level and needs.
Adaptations, accommodations, and modifications are done based upon the students’ needs, learning styles, and interests.
Parents are also involved in every step of the educational process starting from the assessment phase to developing an Individual Education Plan and monitoring the progress of the student.
Extra-Curricula Activities
There are many opportunities at ADIS to pursue your passions, build your strengths or try something completely new in our Enrichment and Extra-Curricular Clubs programs.
There are a variety of extracurricular programmed activities for our students to explore their interests and passions outside of the classroom. They range from creative writing to sports, imagination plays, and academic enrichment trips, as follows:
Parents’ Council
School, parents and community are the most effective elements in the educational process of our children. To reach the desired educational, emotional and social outcomes, the partners must work collaboratively with each other to develop strong relations. The school invites all parents to be part of the School Parent Council.
What is the School Parent Council?
The School Parent Council acts as an advocate for the parents and students, engages in meetings with the school administration and exchanges ideas with the Principal and the administration. The Parents Council can suggest extra-curricular activities and invite guest speakers to address the parents in issues of relevant interest.
