The Learning Support Center at “Miras" International school upholds the principles of a balanced education rooted in the firm belief in inclusion. Academic excellence is reflected in our philosophy of supporting and celebrating the diversity of learning needs within the school community. We endeavor to accommodate students with diverse learning needs to achieve their highest potential while celebrating their unique learning strengths and needs.
We believe that every child has the potential and desire to succeed academically. The Programme of Learning Support Center (LSC) is aimed to support creative and individualized learning within all grade levels, so all students can grow as learners.
The LSC uses a variety of instructional methods to support every student’s unique academic needs and learning styles.
The teachers and the LSC specialists differentiate instruction and provide necessary accommodations for each child to be successful.
The Learning Support Center provides students with three key support programmes: Psychological support, Learning service, SEN students support.
The Learning Support Center carries out psychological services aimed to support the personal, social, and educational development of all students from Pre-school to 11/DP2.
School psychologists provide a variety of professional services to support achievement of students according to the Psychological Support Programme for all levels of education.
The Miras School Psychological Support Programme is a comprehensive continuum of services and activities based on psychological principles. The goal of the programme is to prevent or remediate educational, emotional, or behavioral problems by identifying, analyzing, and reporting psychoeducational needs through consultation, observation, or through psychological and educational assessment.
