About SABIS®
SABIS® is an educational organisation which manages schools worldwide. In the year 2006-7 the 50 member schools were educating approximately 40,000 students. These schools are distinguished by their implementation of the SABIS® Educational System, a uniquely developed preparatory system of education that offers a rigorous, internationally oriented, college-preparatory curriculum, emphasising the core subjects of English, Maths, Science and a Second Language for students from 3+ to 18+ years. The SABIS® Educational System is the product of the experience and effort of dedicated educators, who have developed and refined it, providing a truly international education, geared to achieving academic excellence. The comprehensive, dynamic curriculum is updated, as necessary, to keep it relevant to the international community, the present era and the global environment.
The first school in what is now the SABIS® School Network is the International School of Choueifat, founded in 1886 in the village of Choueifat, a suburb of Beirut, Lebanon. Today the SABIS® School Network consists of Member and Associate Member schools that operate in the private and public sectors. Each school is financially and administratively independent, but every school implements the SABIS® Educational System.
Time and results have proven the SABIS® Educational System to be highly effective. All courses are appropriate to the student’s developmental stage and a well-rounded education is offered with the emphasis, even from the early years, on academic achievement. When all aspects of education are methodical and structured even average students can attain extraordinary results. Individually and collectively, the schools in the SABIS® School Network are known for their commitment to education, and respected for their enviable academic records.
With its roots in the 19th century and a vision that successfully leads us into the 21st century, the SABIS® Organisation will continue to provide top-quality education for a changing world.
