AIS Jakarta integrates social and emotional learning as a core component of its wellbeing program. In Primary School, teachers foster a supportive, inclusive environment and listen to each student to identify strengths and areas for support. Zones of Regulation is used to help students recognise and articulate their feelings, and mindfulness activities are used regularly to develop emotional management and self-awareness. In High School, wellbeing services emphasise restorative practices and relationship skills to build conflict-resolution abilities and responsible behavior. Social & Emotional Thinking Classes are a values-based program designed to cultivate empathy, resilience, healthy decision-making and a growth mindset. The Wellbeing Support Team includes the classroom teacher, Primary Coordinator and Counsellor in Primary, and a broader team in High School with a Wellbeing Coordinator, Counsellor, Homeroom Teachers, and a Child Protection Team, together with student-led initiatives that contribute to a safe and inclusive school community.

AIS delivers specialist support to meet the individual needs of our students. Learning Support Services recognises that every student learns differently and that learning programs should be flexible and tailored to individual needs. Our team provides specialist assistance in English as an Additional Language (EAL), Learning Difficulties, Physical Disabilities, Counselling, and Careers & Future Education. Prior to enrolment, some students are assessed to determine their need for specialised support and the extent of that support. The Support Services team collaborates with teachers and parents to provide an inclusive network that allows students to learn within the mainstream with special arrangements that focus on the growth of the individual and promote attitudes of self-worth and achievement. For students requiring teaching and support in smaller class environments, the Student Services Centre (SSC) is offered, and progress is monitored regularly in consultation with classroom teachers and coordinators.

AIS provides English as an Additional Language (EAL) support as part of Learning Support Services. EAL is one of the specialist areas offered to students to support their language development. The Support Services team includes EAL among its roles, alongside Learning Difficulties, Physical Disabilities, Counselling and Careers & Future Education. Prior to enrolment, some students are assessed to determine their need for specialised support and the extent of that support. The Support Services team works with teachers and parents to provide an inclusive network and to implement Individual Education Plans (IEPs) where needed.

AIS believes that nurturing the whole child brings a plethora of benefits and that an emotionally healthy school environment is crucial for development. Building a positive sense of wellbeing helps students face life's challenges with confidence and fosters stronger relationships and academic readiness. In Primary School, Zones of Regulation and mindfulness activities support emotional literacy and self-awareness. The Wellbeing Program includes a Wellbeing Support Team in Primary (classroom teacher, Primary Coordinator, Counsellor) and in High School (Wellbeing Coordinator, Counsellor, Homeroom Teachers, and Child Protection Team). Social & Emotional Thinking Classes provide a values-based curriculum to help students make healthy choices, manage emotions and express themselves openly and honestly. Student-led initiatives contribute to an emotionally healthy community where students can thrive.

AIS Jakarta places safeguarding and the safety of students and staff at the center of its operations. It uses Keeping Safe: Child Protection Curriculum as part of safeguarding. The Wellbeing Program includes a Child Protection Team to oversee safeguarding measures. The Wellbeing team comprises the Principal, Wellbeing Co-ordinator, Counsellor, Homeroom Teachers, and the Child Protection Team, working together to monitor and respond to safeguarding concerns. The school's use of restorative practices and social-emotional thinking supports a safe and respectful school environment.
