Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

The ILBC Mandalay materials publicly available do not present a detailed, formal SEL program. A Mindfulness page exists on the ILBC site, indicating an emphasis on mindfulness as part of student wellbeing. The Mandalay branches page lists campuses and contact details but does not describe any specific SEL staff roles (e.g., counselors) or named SEL initiatives. No dedicated SEL policy or program page is publicly disclosed. Overall, publicly accessible information does not provide a comprehensive overview of SEL provision.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

The Mandalay pages do not publicly disclose any Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision. There is no mention of SEN staff, a dedicated SEN department, or a specialist SEN center on public pages. The site lists campuses and contact information but not SEN-related policies or services. Therefore, it cannot be confirmed whether the school can support specific SEN needs or how such support would be delivered. SEN information is not publicly disclosed.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

English language instruction is indicated, and an English Proficiency Course (EPC) is listed in the site navigation, suggesting language-support provisions. In Preschool, English is taught, and Burmese or Chinese can be chosen as an additional language subject. The IGCSE onboarding process references an English placement element (Placement Test – English & Maths) for entry. Public information does not specify the presence of dedicated EAL staff or a standalone EAL program beyond EPC. EAL provision details beyond general English instruction and EPC are not publicly disclosed.

Mental Wellbeing

Mindfulness is highlighted on the ILBC site as a component of student wellbeing, with a dedicated Mindfulness page and a Mindfulness link within the Latest News navigation. The content on Mindfulness pages is accessible publicly but not fully loaded in some views. Specific mental wellbeing programs, staff, or implementation details are not publicly disclosed. The available materials indicate an emphasis on wellbeing but do not provide a full programmatic description.

Safeguarding

Safeguarding-related health provisions include a medical clinic with a doctor on site and a school nurse. Medications may be administered at school with parental consent. A medical check-up is conducted for each class, and enrollment requires health documentation such as passport photos, birth certificates, and immunization records. The Mandalay campus pages provide addresses and contact details but do not publish a separate safeguarding policy beyond these health provisions.

Admissions

Admissions

1. Online application and initial documentation. Begin by completing the online admissions form and submitting available school records such as report cards, transcripts, certificates, and any standard test scores. For international applicants, include a copy of the passport. Also complete the billing form and ensure any required fees are paid. The school reserves the right to request copies of student records before enrollment if needed, and health records must show immunization per policy. This step starts your formal consideration for placement and sets expectations for documentation and fees.

2. Submission of records and health requirements. After the online application, send through or upload the school records and any standardized testing results from previous schools whenever possible. The admissions policy notes that the school may request copies of records to support enrollment decisions. Health records must be provided, and students must be immunized as per the school policy; the school medical team will assess suitability based on these materials. Completing this step helps determine whether the student meets placement and health prerequisites for admission.

3. Screening and placement assessment. All applicants participate in a screening assessment designed to determine initial placement. The screening includes a writing sample, a mathematics test, and an informal interview to gauge reading, speaking, and listening skills. Parents and students should be familiar with the Student Manual and the School Rules & Regulations before the screening. The results help assign the student to the most appropriate class level.

4. Review of rules and expectations. Both parents and students are expected to read and understand the Student Manual and School Rules & Regulations. This step ensures that families are aligned with school expectations and conduct policies prior to any enrollment decision. Familiarity with the rules supports a smoother transition if admission is offered.

5. Enrollment decision and billing. Admission is based on records, past performance, age and maturity, class numbers, and screening results. If placement is approved, families should complete any remaining billing requirements and pay the applicable fees (as listed in the fees information). The school may request additional records as part of final enrollment, and the student will be placed according to screening outcomes and space availability.

Scholarships

ILBC does offer scholarships. For the Class of 2025 (Yangon & Mandalay), 70 students received scholarships, with total scholarship value amounting to about $1.1 million across the class, and university offers were received from numerous institutions. This includes a list of many universities that extended offers to ILBC students.

Waitlist

There is no explicit waitlist or pool system described in the admissions policy. Admissions are described as based on a review of records, age, maturity, class numbers, and screening assessments, with placement determined by screening results and available space. No separate waitlist process is stated in the policy.
