SABIS^® System

SABIS^® is a global education management organization that is distinguished by a 125+-year track record in the operation of Pre-K and K-12 schools.

In 1886, two visionaries with a shared passion for education conceived the SABIS^® educational philosophy. Established in the 19^th century and designed to adapt to a changing world, this educational philosophy has driven the organization in its efforts to transform the quality of education worldwide. The story of SABIS^® dates back to 1886 when the International School of Choueifat was founded in the village of Choueifat, a suburb of Beirut, Lebanon. There, the founders Reverend Tanios Saad and Ms. Louisa Proctor brought together their vision, dedication, and ambition to provide basic education for Lebanese girls. Soon thereafter, the school became co-educational in response to market demand.

Today, as it celebrates 125 years of providing high-quality education, SABIS^® educates thousands of students in 15 countries on four continents, including North America, Africa, Asia, and Europe. Its global network of preschool / K-12 schools and a university is an impressive testament to SABIS^®’s mission to change the world through education.

The growing SABIS^® School Network encompasses private member schools, public-private partnership schools (PPP) including charter schools, and schools which license the SABIS^® Educational System.  These schools, all of which have non-selective admissions policies, attract students of various nationalities and races and provide a high-quality educational experience.

The SABIS^® philosophy revolves around the firm belief that a high-quality education should be accessible to almost all students, not just a select few. Capitalizing on this philosophy, students enjoy the opportunities provided by a solid education in all facets of life – in college and beyond.  Thus, they develop, through SABIS^®, into individuals who master the skills that enable them to achieve success in a changing world.
