Philosophy and Goals
SABIS® believes that university education is academically accessible to all students. SABIS® also believes that the success of an educational institution should be measured by the value it adds to each individual.
The SABIS® academic goals may be summarized as follows:
- To qualify every student for entrance into colleges/universities around the world
- To provide a well-rounded education based on a mastery of English and mathematic
- To enable students to acquire a firm command of a second language
- To train students in logical reasoning and critical thinking
- To prepare students to be able to sustain intellectual efforts for long periods
- To generate excitement for life-long learning
The non-academic goals aim to prepare graduates who:
- Uphold high standards of ethical, moral and civic conduct
- Make informed decisions on social issues
- Defend convictions and reverse negative peer pressure
- Participate in extra-curricular activities, school management, and community work
- Foster tolerance, cooperation, and teamwork
- Understand the people of the world through an appreciation of differences as well as similarities
In an increasingly competitive world, university education gives students a wider choice and a better chance. Practically all students educated in the SABIS® Educational System graduate from good universities, and the percentage of former students who go on to further studies is very high. As the system is not selective, SABIS® attributes its success, and that of its students, to the philosophy, goals, and high standards of efficiency and accountability that the SABIS® Educational System requires.
