SABIS® is a global education management organization that manages schools around the world. Schools in the SABIS® School Network operate in 15 countries on four continents and educate thousands of students. These schools are distinguished by their implementation of the SABIS® Educational System, a unique system of education that offers a rigorous, internationally oriented, college-preparatory curriculum, emphasizing the core subjects of English, Math, Science, and World Languages, to students from 3+ to 18+ years of age.
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; however, each school implements the SABIS® Educational System.
The SABIS® Educational System is the product of the experience and effort of dedicated educators, who have developed and refined it, permitting a truly international education, geared to achieving academic excellence. The comprehensive, dynamic curriculum that has resulted is updated, as necessary, to keep it relevant to the international community, the age and the global environment.
Time and results have proven the SABIS® Educational System to be highly effective. All courses are appropriate to students' developmental stages and a well-rounded education is offered; however, the emphasis, even from the early years, is on academic achievement. When all aspects of education are methodical and structured, ordinary 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 its eyes on the 21st century, the SABIS® organisation will continue to provide a top-quality education for a changing world.
