SEE Learning — A Social, Emotional, & Ethical Learning Framework
At ISB, student wellbeing is one of our core values and lies at the heart of everything we do.
We are applying the SEE Learning (Social, Emotional, and Ethical) framework across the entire school — a holistic approach that helps students develop the skills they need to thrive personally, socially, and ethically, while fostering a strong sense of belonging, safety, and mutual respect within our school community.
What is SEE Learning?
SEE Learning is a comprehensive and practical framework built around three domains — Personal, Social, and Systems — and three dimensions — Awareness, Compassion, and Engagement. Together, these elements create a holistic approach that not only supports individual wellbeing but also strengthens the sense of belonging, safety, and mutual respect within our school community.
