Wellbeing is at the heart of learning at QISS! Although it can be hard to define wellbeing, it encompasses “the physical, social and psychological state needed to positively meet life’s challenges.” Our approach to well-being involves a wide range of practices and learning engagements underpinned by the world-renowned Leader in Me program from Dr. Stephen Covey.
At QISS, we understand that wellbeing is a prerequisite to successful learning. QISS students learn to take good care of themselves and build meaningful relationships with their peers, teachers, and community members. Our class sizes range from 10-20 students ensuring students’ wellbeing is a focus everyday. Teachers have opportunities for 1:1 discussions with students as well as time to work in small groups. Furthermore, QISS recruits professionally certified classroom teachers that have progressive classroom experience. Every QISS teacher has been trained to support children’s diverse needs and is experienced in differentiating their instruction. We feel that every child deserves a quality education and the opportunity to be successful.
