BSIS is committed to the well-being of all students, within the school and beyond. Our school focuses on the importance of meeting the unique learning needs of every child, by providing an inclusive environment which is safe, supportive and respectful. Individualised approaches, which recognise children's learning styles and differing abilities, help them cope with academic and emotional challenges.
The team works to ensure that students receive appropriate developmental assistance and coordinates with teachers to provide supportive classroom activities that relate to students’ educational and personal needs. Apart from deployment of trained Para Educators, counsellors and clinical psychologists to work with the students, the school has provisions for alternative learning materials/special equipment/technology as part of the Individualized Education Programme (IEP). They also consult with teachers and the Heads about issues and concerns involving students, as needed or as requested.
Similarly, the varied services provided include working with students in groups to facilitate their holistic development and effective adjustment in school by embedding social and emotional learning into the curriculum in addition to identifying special educational needs (SEN) using a range of psycho-educational evaluations. The department members also conduct in house Professional Development workshops with teachers to update them about recent pedagogical teaching and learning practices.
BSIS equips students to explore experiential, engaging and invigorating experiences from anywhere in the world. Whichever option students decide on for their tertiary education, be it an undergraduate degree, a co-op programme, gap year or employment, the counselling department supports their every decision and journey.

A key feature of BSIS is providing a learning experience to instill the values of caring, compassion and empathy in students. These values lie at the heart of the BSIS community service activities and equip students with the knowledge and skills to bring about positive social change. Students from Class III onwards are involved in community service. The age-appropriate service projects and activities involve planning, action, review and reflection, which create invaluable life experiences. These expose children to purposeful civic learning and to the values of democratic processes and social responsibility. Our students get opportunities to visit and take part in activities at village projects, old-age homes, orphanages and NGO schools.
