Testimonials

It was a great visit. I hope you are terribly proud of that school. We saw the SABIS® educational system working on all cylinders... In the rooms we visited, across the grades, we saw consistently strong instruction delivered by able teachers who are deeply committed to the SABIS® methods, to the school, and to each other. We also saw perfect behavior throughout the day. We were amazed by the longevity of teachers there--several we met had been there nearly since the school opened--unheard of in charter schools, and persuasive evidence of the unique sustainability and scalability of the model.

I alluded to Student Life in an interview for 2 different things (one for a job, one for a student group at university) and I got into both! This is exciting because freshmen aren’t usually so special. Thought you should know that people are quite interested in Student Life!

I have been working for the SABIS® network in various positions for 9 years. I have appreciated the education provided by SABIS® to students not only as a member of the staff but also as a parent. As an educator I enjoy the challenges, I appreciate the philosophy of the company (education above profit), and I feel that I am a member of a big family who shares experiences and takes very careful steps in the direction of the benefit of the school community.

Testing and Monitoring

Student assessment is an integral part of the SABIS® Educational System. Ongoing assessment is used to evaluate student learning and permit timely, positive intervention. Assessment covers the five core academic subjects, namely English, mathematics, world language (language varies depending on the school's host country), science, and social studies. Testing students in this way has a number of very important advantages:

  • Students learn to perform well under the pressure of time and other constraints
  • Students develop the ability to focus and to sustain concentration for long periods
  • It provides feedback that allows close monitoring and follow-up

The proprietary SABIS® Software System provides many programs that allow prompt, reliable assessment of student knowledge as well as effective follow-up. One such program, the SABIS Academic Monitoring System® (SABIS AMS®), is used to assess student knowledge of every concept taught. The SABIS AMS® allows 'gaps' in student knowledge to be pinpointed as they form. Working as a team, teachers and students then focus their efforts on 'filling the gaps'.

The SABIS AMS® allows the progress of every student to be continuously monitored, problem areas to be identified, and the most appropriate solution to be implemented.
