SABIS
SABIS is a global education network that operates on four continents serviced through three independent corporations headquartered in the U.S., Lebanon, and the U.A.E. Schools in the SABIS Network operate in 15 countries and educate close to 65,000 students.
History
The origins of SABIS date back to 1886 when the International School of Choueifat was founded in the village of Choueifat, a suburb of Beirut, Lebanon by Tanios Saad and Louisa Proctor to provide basic education for Lebanese girls. Soon after opening the school, it became co-educational in response to market demand. Despite two world wars, the International School of Choueifat continued to grow over the years and embarked upon an expansion program outside Lebanon in the mid-1970s. The expansion was met with substantial success, which is currently reflected in the organization's global network consisting of Pre-School/K-12 schools and a university in 15 countries on four continents.
