Approach to Education
Class Teaching
From KG to graduation, all courses are clearly structured so that students
and teachers alike know precisely what should be learned. Teachers teach a point
at a time (the SABIS Point System® of Teaching) so that each lesson
alternates frequently between oral work, individual work, and group work in such
a way that it is difficult for students to 'switch off'. Consequently, students
learn more in class and have more time for relaxation and fun after school.
Class Size
SABIS® believes that larger classes offer an enriching diversity
of ideas and approaches. These in turn contribute to raising academic standards
and developing students' talents. They also train students to work in large
groups, thus better preparing them for the future. Over the years,
SABIS® experience with teaching larger classes has been successful
for the following reasons:
- The formation of the class, whereby each class is a homogenous group
- The discipline code
- The teaching methods and class management techniques
- The mix of ability in the classes and student involvement in the
teacher-learning process
