Supporting Every Step of Their Journey
At Yasmina American School, every student is valued, supported, and cared for. Rooted in our three core priorities, our student services ensure each child’s wellbeing- academically, socially and emotionally.
Student Support Services & Counseling
Support Across Every Stage
Early Years (Pre-KG - KG2)
At this foundational stage, our Student Support Services team ensures our youngest learners feel safe and happy.
- Every homeroom teacher, along with her classroom assistant, monitors the social and emotional development of each student.
- Regular wellbeing check-ins help children build self-expression, play nicely with peers and respect their surroundings.
- Teachers’ regular communication with parents ensures alignment between home and school so each child can thrive.
Elementary school (Grades 1–5)
As students grow, our Student Support Services team focuses on building students’ independence, social skills and integrity in line with our three core priorities.
- Homeroom teachers use morning time to discuss topics such as friendship, resilience and growth mindset.
- The Student Support Services team organizes regular schoolwide events, as well as small-group events, to support mental health and wellbeing.
- The Student Support Services team works closely with the Academic team to identify students who need additional social or emotional support. These students are then provided with personalized sessions tailored to their needs.
Middle school (Grades 6-8)
At this transitional level, we prepare students for adolescence and future pathways.
- All middle school students have a form tutor who oversees their academic, social and emotional welfare throughout the year.
- The Student Support Services team delivers age-appropriate assemblies and workshops for students to learn to deal with the challenges of transitioning from primary to secondary school.
- One-to-one counselling and small-group sessions are available for students dealing with pressure, change, or personal challenges. External specialist referrals are also facilitated when needed.
- Our dedicated Guidance Counselor builds a program for our middle school students to expose them to different pathways and career choices as they prepare for high school.
