Special Lessons: A student found to have difficulties in one subject attends extra periods in that subject until the level of the class is reached. Full-Special Classes: Students are given accelerated programs intended to prepare them to join the regular classes. In many cases, Full-Special students have done the work of two or more scholastic years in one. SABIS® Educational Summer Camp program (2-4 weeks in July-August): Taking place in Bath, United Kingdom, this abroad program provides students with the opportunity to benefit from courses that enhance their academic performance and prepare them for the upcoming academic year, including SAT preparation and university orientation program for older students. Public Speaking, Film Making, Coding, and Marketing courses will also be offered to students with a limited number of places available. All studies will take place in the mornings so students can indulge themselves in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends participating in sports, trips, music, art, horseback riding, and cultural activities, all in one of Britain’s most beautiful and culturally stimulating locations.
Students who are found to be behind academically are rarely refused. Instead, they are offered, at an extra cost, one of several different solutions, depending on their academic needs.
Students who are not fluent in our language of instruction benefit from our intensive language program that helps develop their language skills within their proficiency level. Based on the results of their diagnostic tests, students are engaged on the path they need to improve as fast and as efficiently as possible through intense support within the classroom or pullout lessons.
