Academic Goals

Academic Goals

Emphasizing a well-balanced body of knowledge, skills, and experiences, the curriculum at ISC-Damascus 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 at Pre-K, 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-Damascus courses include extended material for more able students. Details can be provided to interested parents upon request.

The comprehensive SABIS® curriculum allows ISC-Damascus students to achieve more with less effort. Each year, graduates from SABIS® schools around the world gain entry to highly competitive universities in the U.K., U.S.A., Canada, Europe, Australia, and the Middle and Far East. SABIS® schools pride themselves on the performance of their students at the most prestigious universities in the world including Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, MIT, Princeton, and Stanford to name a few.
