Our Learning Support Team includes qualified and experienced teachers with a range of specialist skills and knowledge.
The team provides high-quality provisions to students learning English as an Additional Language (EAL), those who may have Special Educational Needs (SEN), or who have been identified as Highly Able Students (HAS).
The Learning Support Team works closely with mainstream classes and subject teachers across the school to ensure that support sessions are meaningful, relevant, and cater to the needs of each individual. Canggu Community School makes extensive use of Individualised Educational Plans (IEPs) and/or Student Learning Plans (SLPs) to outline the interventions in place for each student receiving learning support while at school.
The majority of support is based on an inclusion model, where learning outcomes are achieved while working in the class with other students, although withdrawal lessons may occur to support students towards achieving individualised targets in specific areas of need.
The Learning Support Team believes in the need for collaborative, respectful, and targeted support for each student to enable them to thrive in Canggu Community School’s educational programmes and experiences.
Canggu Community School’s admission policy is widely inclusive. The school admits students whose academic, personal, social and emotional needs can be met by our programmes and services, and who can be integrated into a mainstream classroom.

Introduction to Post-Secondary Planning
Post-Secondary Planning is a challenging, revealing and exciting experience. It enables students to go through the process of self-discovery, examining their strengths and values, as they start to decide what they might want to pursue in life. We aim to guide, support, and counsel students and parents as they research schools, make choices, select and visit universities, complete applications, and/or find a career path that is a good match. We assist students in developing their positive experiences at CCS in order to gain admissions into universities and careers all over the world.
We hope you will use this as a resource throughout high school, as it addresses many issues related to the university application process in general and very specifically to different systems and countries. We wish you all the best as you start this journey!
