In a world that constantly evolves, so too must our perceptions and attitudes towards diverse communities. As we approach World Autism Awareness Day, Compass International School, a proud member of the Nord Anglia Education (NAE) family of schools, stands at the forefront of a shift in perspective. The narrative surrounding autism is no longer confined to attempts at curing or converting; instead, a new focus emerges—one that champions acceptance, support, and inclusion for autistic individuals in the education sector.
Nord Anglia Education's commitment to facilitate an inclusive environment across the globe, was cemented in the most recent Learning and Teaching conference held in Hanoi, when professionals from Nord Anglia schools across the globe gathered with a shared goal: enhancing the support system for students with learning differences, including those with autism.
Our school community plays an active role in shaping a world where neurodiversity is not only acknowledged but celebrated. This journey of transformation holds profound significance for our institution, as Nord Anglia actively moves towards inclusivity, echoing the evolving narrative that transcends boundaries, uplifts communities, and empowers every individual, regardless of neurodivergence.
We consider ourselves advocates of an evolving narrative that transcends boundaries in the autism community and through this transformation we aim to contribute to uplifting communities, and empower each student, irrespective of neurodivergence.
In embracing this ethos, our school nurtures an environment where the unique strengths and perspectives of each student are recognised thereby aligning with our personalised teaching efforts in the classroom.
As we commemorate World Autism Awareness Day, our commitment to fostering a culture of understanding and acceptance stands as a testament to our dedication to building a more inclusive and compassionate world.
The blog highlights the transformative power of physical activity, emphasizing how it boosts energy, focus, and mental well-being. At Compass International School, promoting an active lifestyle is integral to fostering both physical and emotional health, which in turn enhances students' academic performance. The new initiative, Kickstart Kilometre, invites the school community to walk or jog together every Thursday morning, kickstarting their day with positive energy and improved focus. This approach aims to inspire a balanced lifestyle that helps manage stress and supports overall success in both academics and life.
