Student Support
At Astor International School, we are committed to creating a positive and supportive learning environment for every child. We know that the needs of each student are different and we do everything we can to offer solutions and support to suit individual requirements. We work closely with families and specialists to provide the right level of help each student may need throughout their learning journey.
Open Communication and Disclosure
​
To help us in these efforts, we ask that parents share all important information with us at the time of application and throughout their child’s time at Astor. This includes:
​
-
Any learning needs (such as difficulties with focus, behaviour, speech, or English language)
-
Medical conditions (current or past)
-
Family circumstances that may affect the student’s wellbeing or behaviour
​
​
Failure to share this information could lead to a withdrawal of the offer or removal of the student from the school.
​
Before Joining Astor
​
As part of the admissions process, we carry out an individual assessment of each child. The charge for this assessment is SGD650, and it is paid as part of the student’s admission fee.
​
If the child needs support that we cannot provide or if parents choose not to pay for the required help, the admission process will not move forward. In such cases, the admission fee (less the assessment charge) will be refunded.
​
After Enrollment: Ongoing Support
​
We regularly observe and assess each student. If we find that a child would benefit from additional support, we will discuss this with the parents.
​
-
Parents must agree to and pay for any additional support their child needs.
-
If parents do not agree, or if we find we are unable to meet the student’s needs, we may ask for the child to be withdrawn from the school.
-
If needed, we may request assessments from outside specialists (e.g., speech therapists or psychologists). These will be paid for by the parents.
Types of Support We Provide

If a student is identified as needing extra support, we will:
-
Create an with short-term goals
-
Review the plan every term
