This week, two key topics have taken center stage in the boarding house: the importance of sleep and WiFi use. The research is clear — sleep is critical for students' learning, well-being, and overall mental health. Studies show that adequate sleep not only improves academic performance but also plays a vital role in emotional regulation and reduces the risk of anxiety, depression, and stress.
Next week, parents of our new language learners in English will receive reports on how students performed on our WIDA testing. As with many international schools around the world, we have a language rich population, with a high number of new language learners in English. To support our students, we actively assess our language learning students using the WIDA framework.
