The International School of Choueifat UK is a member of the SABIS School Network, which consists of thirteen schools in seven countries: Germany, United Kingdom, United States of America, Lebanon, Egypt, United Arab Emirates and Pakistan, which implements the SABIS Education System.
The SABIS Education System believes that university education is accessible to ALL students and not only attainable by a small percentage of very able students. Most of the graduates of the SABIS Education System have joined good universities and many have graduated from the top universities in the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries. Consequently the high academic standard of the Schools within the network is known to many of the top universities of the world.
Further distinguishing characteristics of the SABIS Education System are:
* Schools within the network are academically orientated without being selective. Their aim is to produce socially responsible graduates adequately prepared to deal with the problems of the future.
* The criterion for acceptance into classes is not age but academic attainment, with age acting as a limiting factor. Students new to the Schools take placement tests to check whether they have attained the minimum expected standards in English and Mathematics. Placement depends on the results of these tests.
* The SABIS Education System has developed an international programme of its own that has allowed it to cater for the needs of international communities in different parts of the world.
* Schools within the network are international not only academically, but also as far as the staff and pupils are concerned. This provides the pupils with cultural exposure that complements the high education that they are offered.
* Intensive courses are offered to students with academic problems or students wishing to transfer from their national curriculum to the English or American system.
The International School Of Choueifat UK takes children between the ages of nine to eighteen plus. In secondary school pupils are prepared to the IGCSE, GCE (AS-level and A-level), American College Board Exams (TOEFL, SAT1, SAT11 and Advanced Placement) and High School Diploma. These may be taken separately or in different combinations. Each year our students gain entry to highly competitive universities in the UK, USA, Europe and the Middle East.
Three summer sessions of 3, 4 and 7 weeks respectively are designed to facilitate the entry of new students into the School.
