Approaching Education

All courses for students at all levels are clearly structured to enable students and teachers to know precisely what should be learned. Teachers teach one concept at a time using the SABIS Point System with each lesson alternating frequently between oral work, individual work, and group work in such a way that it is difficult for students to “switch off”.

Students engage in regular assessment using exams that teachers do not see in advance. Everyone in the school is accountable. Accordingly, students learn more in class and have more time for relaxation and fun after school.

Emphasizing a well-balanced body of knowledge, skills, and experiences, the curriculum at ISC-Dubai specifies daily learning goals at all grade levels. In an atmosphere that fosters the development of a lifelong love of learning, students learn how to study and are given the support they need to develop a solid academic foundation.

Starting from Grade 3 our courses specify a minimum number of "units of information" that students need to learn. This minimum includes the simple concepts tested by the SABIS AMS, as well as Basic Questions which test the material that "everyone should know." In addition to this, ISC-Dubai courses include extended material for more able students. Details can be provided to interested parents upon request.
