About SABIS®
SABIS® is an organization that manages schools worldwide. In the academic year 2008-2009, approximately 56,000 students were enrolled in SABIS® schools. The distinguishing mark of these schools is their implementation of the SABIS® Educational System. It is a system that offers a rigorous, internationally-oriented, college-preparatory curriculum for students aged 3 to 18+ focusing primarily on the core subjects of English, mathematics, sciences, and world languages.
The first school in what has grown to be the SABIS® School Network was the International School of Choueifat. It was founded in 1886 in the village of Choueifat, a suburb of Beirut, Lebanon. Currently, the SABIS® School Network consists of Member and Associate Member schools that operate in the private and public sectors worldwide. These schools all implement the SABIS® Educational System, although each one of them remains financially and administratively independent.
