Admission Policy

Non-Selective Admissions

The SABIS^® Educational System is highly academically oriented without being highly selective. The criterion for acceptance in a class is academic attainment, not age. Although age acts as a limiting factor, it is possible to find a three-year age-range in the same class. Practically any student who is willing to learn is accepted.

Some candidates may find that student expectations in our system vary from those of other schools. Our system places considerable emphasis on student accountability, responsibility, and respect of self and others. Thus, our system strives to enforce discipline in the school in order to facilitate student learning and promote good manners. Students who are used to more liberal systems need to adapt our code of behavior, discipline, and general appearance.
