About SABIS®
SABIS® is a global management organization that operates Pre-K and K-12 schools worldwide. In the 2008-2009 academic year, over 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, which was founded in 1886 in the village of Choueifat, a suburb of Beirut, Lebanon. The SABIS® School Network currently consists of Member and Associate Member schools that operate in the private and public sectors in 15 countries. These schools all implement the SABIS® Educational System, although each of them remains financially and administratively independent.
