SEN child in NLCS?

[Shusihere]

Does anyone have a child with special needs at NLCS? I am looking at it for my AuDHD child who has dyspraxia and dyscalculia. MYP would be a better option that IGCSEs due to his needs. Wondering if they have learning support there? If anyone has a child there could you please let me know if it would be a supportive environment for him?

I have found information on SEN from this site called doris.school and NLCS supports students with Special Educational Needs (SEN) through individualized programs and dedicated staff, including Learning Support Teachers and Teaching Assistants. While the school is not a specialist SEN institution, it provides assistance to students with mild learning difficulties. That said, families have had different experiences and it often comes down to the individual student’s needs and how proactive the school is with personalised accommodations. For a child with AuDHD, dyspraxia, and dyscalculia, the MYP could indeed be more flexible than IGCSE, but it would still be really worth reaching out directly to their admissions or student support team and asking very specific questions (e.g., Do they offer occupational therapy support? What’s the approach to executive functioning challenges? Are there structured academic accommodations?). Hope this helps, if you have any more questions I am more than happy to help!
