The school emphasizes developing language learning beyond the core German and French instruction to support diverse language skills across the student body.

Two TANDEM social pedagogues provide psychological and social support for students in need, and they advise parents and teachers while participating in relevant working groups. The school hosts workshops on cyberbullying awareness, violence prevention, and addiction prevention to foster a safer, healthier school climate. A dedicated staff member for psychological support and a network of trusted teachers and trusted student contacts support mental wellbeing across the school, contributing to a supportive learning environment.

There is a safeguarding framework that includes addiction-prevention and psychological-support provisions, a German- and French-speaking trusted-teacher network, and trusted-student contacts for age-appropriate safeguarding.
