Student Support Services

At the Dresden International School we celebrate diversity in our community. We want to assure that our students achieve their highest potential. Our Student Support Services help us meet the needs of a range of learning profiles.

We provide counseling, special educational services, and English as an Additional Language (EAL) to support our students on their path to academic success.

Support during transitions from abroad to Germany, or between school levels as well as careers and university counselling are also available to our students.

English Language Support

The English as an Additional Language (EAL) programme exists to ensure that students arriving at the school with limited or no experience of English are supported during their acquisition of the language. Our goal is to facilitate learners’ acquisition of the language and communication skills necessary to fully access the curriculum and take advantage of all learning opportunities within and outside the classroom.

Counselling

Our two school counsellors, one at the Primary School and one at the Secondary School, are dedicated to supporting students, teachers, and parents with wellbeing and emotional health, with the goal of promoting academic success. They meet with individuals confidentially and in groups. In Secondary School our school counsellor also supports the Extended Advisory lessons.
