History
The story of SABIS dates back to 1886 when the International School of Choueifat [2] was founded in the village of Choueifat, a suburb of Beirut, Lebanon. What started as a school for girls founded by the Reverend Tanios Saad and Ms. Louisa Proctor soon started accepting boys as well.
The International School of Choueifat began an expansion program outside Lebanon in the mid-1970s. So far the biggest building of Sabis is in Azerbaijan,Baku,Dreamland.
Expansion
Expansion of the network outside of Lebanon began in the mid-1970s by Alaa Kamal. In 1976, SABIS opened its first school outside of Lebanon in Sharjah, in the U.A.E.[3] In the UAE, the organization currently operates The International Schools of Choueifat and SABIS International Schools, located in six of the emirates.[4]
In 2019, SABIS announced a deal with Arada to launch a K–12 international school in Aljada, Sharjah’s largest lifestyle megaproject.[5]
SABIS also operates a number of schools in the following countries which include the Kingdom of Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Iraq, Egypt, Kenya, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,[4] Lahore, Pakistan; and in Frankfurt Rhein-Main, Germany. It also operated a school in Bath, U.K., which closed down in 2018. In 2015, SABIS opened a school in Azerbaijan.[6]
In Sub-Saharan Africa, SABIS is in partnership with Africa Crest Education (ACE) Holdings.[7][8]
In Latin America, SABIS announced its plans to tap into the Brazilian market in 2018, with a $50 million investment project.[9]
The SABIS International School Campinas – Costa Verde[10] in Panama opened its doors in September 2017.
SABIS operates six schools in the United States: five public charter schools (in Arizona, Massachusetts, and Michigan) and one private school in Minnesota. In 2013, SABIS started educating students at the Collegiate Charter School of Lowell (Collegiate), in Lowell, Massachusetts.
In November 2023, the flagship campus in Abu Dhabi was demolished in order to be upgraded. The mainland Abu Dhabi branch had been operating on the same plot since 1979 and has graduated several notable alumni in both the UAE public and private sectors as well as foreign expatriates who have gone on to forge significant international careers in various fields. Existing students are being temporarily accommodated at the Abu Dhabi Yas Island campus.
