International Students.
At Masada, we prioritise the well-being and success of our international students through a nurturing and inclusive environment. From the moment they arrive, Year Patrons ensure that every student feels welcome by pairing them with a dedicated ‘buddy’ to help them quickly adjust to their new surroundings. Our Head of International Affairs & Student Liaison plays a vital role in supporting international students, helping them navigate cultural and language challenges while acting as a bridge between the school, homestay families, and parents. This comprehensive support network is designed to safeguard their academic progress and emotional well-being. To further strengthen this support, each international student is paired with an advocate from the International Student Alliance (ISA). These advocates maintain close communication with parents, providing regular updates on their child’s academic performance and overall well-being. At Masada, we ensure every student feels at home and fully supported throughout their journey with us.
