Approach to Education
Central to the SABIS® approach is the mission to help each student realize his/her full potential. This mission draws on a structured program that emphasizes effective teaching, follow-up, re-teaching and active student participation, coupled with tried and tested methodologies that maximize and standardize learning. Contact time between teacher and student is never wasted and each minute is utilized to enhance learning.
SIS Adma is no different in this regard and pushes forward its dynamic tri-lingual curriculum using all the invaluable tools and methodologies that SABIS® has to offer.
Starting at Grade 3, courses specify a minimum number of "units of information" or "concepts" that students need to learn. This minimum includes the simple concepts tested by the SABIS® AMS™ as well as Basic Questions, which test the material that "everyone should know". In addition, courses include extended material for more able students. To maximize understanding of the material, students are shown how to study and those who need support are encouraged to stay for the after-school study, where they receive clear guidance. Past experiences have shown that students have benefited greatly from after-school study.
