Testimonials

I want to express my appreciation for all ISC-Cairo has done. For the first time, I feel that my child really likes going to school. He wakes up early and now fulfills his promise to his teacher by attending the morning assembly line and completing all assigned homework. I am really happy and I cannot believe that with a bit of encouragement he would change. Thank you all for your cooperation and for taking the time to listen and find a solution. Thank you so much and I wish you all the best.

I don’t have to look far to know how successful the SABIS^® system is. My daughter, Sevan, graduated from ISC-Dubai in 2006 and she enrolled in McGill University at the age of 17, as a second-year student given her AP credits. She graduated in 2009, with first-class honors, from the computer science program, with a minor in philosophy - just two months short of her twentieth birthday. Currently, she is working on her master’s thesis after finishing all required coursework. All this and she is not yet 21! She was brought up in the Choueifat system which taught the students to not only excel but to be leaders.

I believe there are few places like the International School of Choueifat-Erbil in Kurdistan. I have enjoyed the international environment and the opportunity to work hard and immediately see the results. We are doing very important development work in this school, and it has been very satisfying for me personally to be part of the Iraqi nation-building on a different level.

ISC-Damascus and ISC-Homs Students Contribute to a Local Hospital

ISC-Damascus and ISC-Homs Students Contribute to a Local Hospital

ISC-Damascus and ISC-Homs students in Syria are continuously working to improve their communities by volunteering to benefit various causes. In this respect, the students recently spearheaded one of their largest joint community projects of the year, the Hope Cancer Campaign, and achieved impressive results.

With the aim of increasing cancer awareness and raising funds, ISC-Damascus and ISC-Homs students sold 571 Hope Cancer Campaign t-shirts to parents, community members, and other students. T-shirt sales raised more than $2,800, allowing the schools to donate seven medical beds, specialized for cancer patients, and other essential medical equipment to a local hospital. “Through months of working together, the students learned that collectively they can make a major difference,” stated ISC-Homs Student Life Coordinator, Ms. Cindy Faisal.

The students had the opportunity to deliver the medical equipment in-person to the Al Birouni University Hospital, which is supported by Basma Children with Cancer Support Association. “When the students went to the hospital to donate the medical equipment, they were able to see the significant impact that their hard work will have on the lives of less fortunate children in their community,” commented ISC-Damascus Student Life Coordinator, Mr. Abdullah Idilbi. “This project also taught students to be responsible citizens in their communities.”

Through SLO™, which oversees community service projects, ISC-Damascus and ISC-Homs students are provided the resources and outlet to take part in academic and extracurricular activities that help shape them into strong leaders who have an understanding of social responsibility. ISC-Damascus and ISC-Homs are developing responsible world-class citizens who have a well-balanced foundation of knowledge and experiences and a remarkable sense of compassion and consideration for others.

ISC-Damascus and ISC-Homs were founded in 2001 and 2005, respectively, and currently enroll more than 2,000 students collectively. Both schools implement the efficient and high-quality SABIS^® Educational System, which provides students with a solid academic foundation and prepares them to successfully face the challenges in college and beyond.
