SIS-UK History

SABIS International School UK will open its doors to students aged 11 to 14 (UK: Year 7-9; US: Grade 7-9) in September 2012.  The school will expand by one grade level in each subsequent year of operation until it reaches a full 7-12 offering.  SIS-UK will prepare students for external examinations in the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) in Years 10 and 11, and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP), pending approval, in Years 11 and 12.

SIS-UK is a member of the global SABIS^® School Network, established in 1886 with the opening of its first school.  For over 125 years, schools in the SABIS^® School Network have been preparing students with the knowledge and skills required to help them achieve success in a changing world.  SABIS^® graduates have gone on to attend the world’s most prestigious universities and distinguish themselves in a wide variety of professions in the public and private sectors. Today, the SABIS^® School Network consists of thousands of students attending schools operating in 15 countries on four continents.

SIS-UK, under the name of the International School of Choueifat UK (ISC-UK), operated as an international boarding school from 1983 until 2001.  During this time the school successfully graduated students who matriculated to top universities in the UK and around the world.  The school officially changed its name to the SABIS International School UK (SIS-UK) in February of 2006 and offered a summer program , bringing SABIS^® and non-SABIS^® students together for an exciting and educational summer experience.
