At ISD, we believe students learn best when they feel healthy, safe, and supported — in body and in mind. As a certified Healthy School (Gezonde School), we take a whole-school approach to wellbeing, helping every student build the habits and resilience they need to thrive, both now and in the future.
Since September 2023, ISD has held national Healthy School certification for the themes of Wellbeing and Relationships & Sexuality, awarded under the Dutch Gezonde School framework.
We invest in the health and wellbeing of every student, with extra support and resources available for those who need additional care. Our Healthy School work is built around four key pillars:
We stay alert to signs that a student’s wellbeing may be dipping, and connect families with a strong network of internal and external support services when needed.
We run a range of programmes and lessons focused on positive relationships, social safety, and healthy living, helping students build the knowledge and skills to make healthy choices.
We create a safe, inclusive school environment where students feel respected, valued, and able to build healthy relationships with others.
Clear policies and procedures underpin everything we do, keeping student wellbeing and healthy relationships at the heart of school life.
Healthy students feel better, perform better, and develop more fully. A healthy school environment also helps reduce early school leaving, while giving students the tools to make choices that benefit their wellbeing now — and their health for years to come.
