At Greenwood International School, the School Counseling Department follows the ethical standards provided by the American School Counselors’ Association (ASCA) that the Michigan School Counselor Association adopts as part of the school’s adherence to the Michigan State Standards.

Safeguarding Policy

The Greenwood International School strongly believes in ensuring the safety and welfare of all children in its care through its rules and regulations, its periodic revision of its Child Protection Policy, and its organization of staff workshops, lectures, and training on all matters of children’s rights. The school’s Child Protection Policy provides a well-structured framework within which all of its responsibilities towards its students are clearly described, understood, and practiced.

Our Child Protection policy details the commitment of Greenwood International School to ensure the rights, safety, and development of all its students. The behaviors considered a violation or a threat to children’s rights, safety, and development are reported and documented, including all, if any, abuse allegation cases as dictated and advised by the UAE law.
