Testimonials

I want to express my appreciation for all ISC-Cairo has done. For the first time, I feel that my child really likes going to school. He wakes up early and now fulfills his promise to his teacher by attending the morning assembly line and completing all assigned homework. I am really happy and I cannot believe that with a bit of encouragement he would change. Thank you all for your cooperation and for taking the time to listen and find a solution. Thank you so much and I wish you all the best.
ISC-Cairo parent - May 06, 2010

I don’t have to look far to know how successful the SABIS^® system is. My daughter, Sevan, graduated from ISC-Dubai in 2006 and she enrolled in McGill University at the age of 17, as a second-year student given her AP credits. She graduated in 2009, with first-class honors, from the computer science program, with a minor in philosophy - just two months short of her twentieth birthday. Currently, she is working on her master’s thesis after finishing all required coursework. All this and she is not yet 21! She was brought up in the Choueifat system which taught the students to not only excel but to be leaders.

I believe there are few places like the International School of Choueifat-Erbil in Kurdistan. I have enjoyed the international environment and the opportunity to work hard and immediately see the results. We are doing very important development work in this school, and it has been very satisfying for me personally to be part of the Iraqi nation-building on a different level.

ISC-Erbil Welcomes Visitor from Space

ISC-Erbil Welcomes Visitor from Space

On October 12, 2009, the International School of Choueifat-Erbil hosted a prominent visitor, Captain William Shepherd, NASA Astronaut and former manager in the Space Station Program.

Captain Shepherd was greeted by the ISC-Erbil admin team and then given a tour of the school campus by the SLO™ prefects. Later, he addressed the students from grades 7 and 8 in the auditorium. The students watched a video of the initial survival training astronauts have and then watched some parts of a space flight. They also had the chance to witness what the astronauts actually do during their long stay on the space station.

Captain Shepherd helped the students delve into the world of space and shared some of his exploits with them. Students were eager to learn more and seized the opportunity to ask Captain Shepherd some questions. He was very impressed by the student’s awareness of space history and information and promised to visit them again on his next trip to Kurdistan.

Welcoming Captain Shepherd aroused ISC-Erbil students’ interest in space and encouraged them to inquire more about the topic whether for enjoyment or learning. In addition, it allowed them to strengthen their social skills by interacting with top-notch guests hailing from various fields.

A member of the SABIS ® School Network, ISC-Erbil recently celebrated the achievement of reaching the 1000 student mark, a growth that reflects the school’s successful implementation of the SABIS ® Educational System.
