Catering for the Complete Individual

Like all SABIS^® schools around the world, The International Schools of Choueifat in the UAE are highly academic, non-selective, co-educational, English-medium, independent day schools catering for students from the ages of 3 to 19 years. They provide top-quality education to children of different races, nationalities and backgrounds. We believe we can add more value to students to enable them to perform to the best of their ability, be admitted to the most competitive universities and be successful in their careers. The schools develop student’s academic competence, learning techniques, interpersonal skills, and personality in addition to instilling in them high ethical, moral, and civic values. The multicultural setting of the schools help students develop a better understanding of world cultures.

The Syllabus

The syllabus is specifically designed by SABIS^® to provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in top universities around the world. It is neither British nor American, yet every year our graduates join top universities like Oxford, Cambridge, MIT, U-Penn, McGill, etc.

Class Teaching

From KG to the highest level all courses are clearly structured so students and teacher alike know precisely what should be learnt. Teachers teach a point at a time (the SABIS^® Point System�) so that each lesson alternates frequently between oral work, individual work and group work in such a way that it is difficult for students to 'switch off'. The administration tests the children regularly using exams that teachers do not see beforehand. Everyone in the school is accountable. Accordingly students learn more in class, which means they have more time for relaxation and fun after school.

Students Follow-up

Those who fall behind in their work are advised, motivated, detained, helped and coached until they catch up. As long as they manage their own time successfully, their time is theirs, otherwise help is given

The learning Process

All courses are structured. A unique system of academic tracking (the SABIS^® AMS^TM which is a computerized method of detecting gaps in knowledge) allows the administration to follow closely the progress of each individual. Gaps are pinpointed as soon as they form, and the students efforts are focused on eliminating them. Valuable time is saved, and a gap-free cohesive structure of knowledge is built in students minds.

The Role of the SLO

The student organization works hand in hand with the staff as one team. Members of the student organization are appointed by the administration for their competence rather than elected by the students for their popularity. This organization seeks to (1) raise academic standards (2) promote high social and moral values (3) develop personality, (4) develop communication and management skills and (5) involve students into organizing sports and aesthetic activities.
