Middle School Social Studies Projects: Term 3

Probably the activity that has given rise to the greatest show of talent and enthusiasm from the students has been the Social Studies project assignment, across the four year-groups. We worked individually or in groups to make some marvellous posters and 3-D models, on subjects related to the work studied in class. We then gave presentations to the class. Some of the subjects chosen were:

Approach to Education

Class Teaching

From KG to graduation, all courses are clearly structured so that students and teachers alike know precisely what should be learned. Teachers teach a point at a time (the SABIS Point System^® of Teaching) so that each lesson alternates frequently between oral work, individual work, and group work in such a way that it is difficult for students to 'switch off'. Consequently, students learn more in class and have more time for relaxation and fun after school.

Class Size

SABIS^® believes that larger classes offer an enriching diversity of ideas and approaches. These in turn contribute to raising academic standards and developing students' talents. They also train students to work in large groups, thus better preparing them for the future. Over the years, SABIS^® experience with teaching larger classes has been successful for the following reasons:

The formation of the class, whereby each class is a homogenous group
The discipline code
The teaching methods and class management techniques
The mix of ability in the classes and student involvement in the teacher-learning process
