The SABIS^® Educational System

The SABIS^® Educational System is distinguished by the philosophy upon which it is based, the goals that it sets, and the approaches and methods that it employs to accomplish these goals. It provides a sound, thorough and high-level education.

Philosophy and Goals

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 resulting curriculum is comprehensive and dynamic, being updated as necessary to keep it relevant to the age, the international community, and the global environment.

SABIS^® believes that university education is academically accessible to all students. SABIS^® also believes that the success of an educational institution should be measured by the value it adds to each individual.

The SABIS^® academic goals may be summarized as follows:

• To qualify every student for entrance into colleges/universities around the world
• To provide a well-rounded education based on a mastery of English and Mathematics
• To enable students to acquire a firm command of a second language
• To train students in logical reasoning and critical thinking
• To prepare students to be able to sustain intellectual efforts for long periods
• To generate excitement for life-long learning

The non-academic goals aim to prepare graduates who:

• Uphold high standards of ethical, moral and civic conduct
• Make informed decisions on social issues
• Defend convictions and reverse negative peer pressure
• Participate in extra-curricular activities, school management, and community work
• Foster tolerance, cooperation, and teamwork
• Understand the people of the world through an appreciation of differences as well as similarities

In an increasingly competitive world, university education gives students a wider choice and a better chance. Practically all students educated in the SABIS^® Educational System graduate from good universities, and the percentage of former students who go on to further studies is very high. As the system is not selective, SABIS^® attributes its success, and that of its students, to the philosophy, goals, and high standards of efficiency and accountability that the SABIS^® Educational System requires.
