    SABIS Educational Systems, INC. is an education management organization

    that has been successfully managing schools in the U.S. since 1985. The

    organization owns the exclusive rights in North America, South America, and

    Europe to the SABIS Educational System, a comprehensive, dynamic program

    that provides students with a strong academic foundation, fosters academic

    achievement, and effectively prepares them for success in school, college, and

    beyond.

    In 1985, the first school managed by SABIS Educational Systems, INC. was

    established in Minnesota and set out to provide high-quality education to

    students in the U.S. Sparked by the success achieved by its students and driven

    to make a difference in the lives of more students, the organization branched

    out into the public sector in 1995 and started its first public charter school in

    Springfield, Massachusetts.

    Through its commitment to the ongoing development and refinement of its

    educational system, a system that dates back 126 years, SABIS Educational

    Systems, INC. has continued to expand its management of schools in the U.S. In

    the 2011-12 academic year, over 6,700 students were educated in 13 schools: 8

    SABIS -managed public charter schools, 4 schools under license, and 1 private

    school implementing the dynamic SABIS Educational System.

    The importance of a high-quality education and the commitment to helping all

    students achieve their full potential are characteristics shared among all the

    schools that are members of the global SABIS School Network. This network

    of schools currently educates thousands of students in schools in 15 countries

    on four continents.

    Letter fromthe President

    March 2013

    Over the past year, amidst political campaigns, change, and conflict, the

    value of education has been a rare constant, continuing to spark wide-spread

    debate and re-energizing the search for ways to raise standards. With its 126

    years of experience in education management, a track record of education

    excellence in both the public and private sectors, and tens of thousands o

    graduates, SABIS has been actively involved in the debate, bringing the

    weight of its experience to bear as a participant at global conferences tasked

    with exploring ways to improve standards. Consistently, the SABISmessage

    has remained clear. Improving education standards requires a system, one

    that ensures efficient school operation, maximizes results while minimizing

    costs without sacrificing quality, and effectively changes the world by preparingstudents with knowledge and skills to serve them now and into the future.

    Today, in 15 countries on four continents, there are over 62,000 students

    enrolled in SABISmember schools that are fully managed by SABIS o

    are part of the SABISSchool Network as licensees. All these students

    benefit from the strength of the SABIS Educational System, one tha

    is practiced, recognized, and rewarded. The system is

    successfully replicated at scale, bringing a high-quality education to students

    from a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds in both public and private

    schools. The comprehensive system includes a refined, challenging college

    preparatory curriculum, proven teaching methodologies that engage each

    student in a community of learners, active monitoring of student progress, andongoing individualized follow-up, all of which prepare students for successfu

    admission to college or university and position them for future success.

    The strength of our system, its growing recognition, and the rewards it brings

    to all our students, families, and communities are reflected in the pages of

    this 2011-12 U.S. Annual Report. I invite you to read this report to learn

    more about SABISand the ways our system is changing the world through

    education.

    PRACTICEDAs one of the worlds oldest education management

    organizations, SABIS is proud to be a leader in the eld.

    This position is strengthened by its determination to remain

    on the cutting-edge while at the same time remaining true

    to the principles it has practiced since its founding.

    These practices are found in every school that is part of

    the global SABIS School Network and are leveraged to

    ensure that all students receive a high-quality education

    that prepares them for success in the future.

    SABIS member schools in the U.S. deliver outstandingresults year after year as they educate new generations

    of future leaders. The consistently high results earned by

    students can be attributed to, among other things, a long-

    term commitment to research and development coupled

    with the practice of continually seeking to improve. These

    elements have shaped the dynamic SABIS Educational

    System, a comprehensive program that is practiced

    consistently in SABIS U.S. member schools as well as

    around the world.

    The SABIS Educational System includes:

    *A well-structured and comprehensive curriculum

    * Efcient books, in core subjects, designed to dovetail

    precisely with the curriculum

    * Proven instructional methods that keep students

    engaged and learning efciently

    * Timely tracking of student performance through regular

    assessment to ll any learning gaps

    * Cutting-edge educational tools to support the SABIS

    program and enhance efciency

    *A student-led organization that creates positive attitudesand behaviors

    *A safe, disciplined, and positive environment that

    encourages learning and responsible behavior

    SABIS Information TechnologyResulting from the practice of engaging in ongoing research and development, particularly in the area of educationatechnology, SABISprovides its U.S. member schools with access to cutting-edge education tools that enhance the learningexperience and facilitate lesson delivery. SABISWebSchool is one such tool.

    SABISWebSchool is a secure, user-friendly information portal designed to enhance the educational experience of SABIS

    students and their parents. It provides students with easy access to track homework assignments, academic progressand Student Life participation. For parents, WebSchool provides a window into their childs life at school. Through the siteparents can view regular updates on their childs academic performance, behavior, and involvement in the schools StudenLife Organization (SLO) activities, among other things.

    SABISWebSchool was updated in the 2011-12 academic year to offer greater value to schools. Among the many newfeatures is the introduction of the Progress Review. This new feature is designed for students to monitor their ownacademic performance and overall school experience. The Progress Review summarizes all relevant information in aneasy-to-view layout that saves time, encourages regular checking, and helps strengthen students sense of responsibilityand accountability.

    With a determination to stay on the cutting-edge of technology in education, SABISconstantly studies the latest developmentsand evaluates their potential to contribute to student success. As the publisher of over 1,700 books in the SABISBookSeries, SABISrecently announced its plans to partner with YDP, part of the Sanoma Corporation and one of Europesleading media and educational publishing groups in digital publishing.

    The main driver behind the SABISshift to E-books is the desire to increase student engagement in the learning processand appeal to a generation that responds to technology, converting otherwise static material into engaging and dynamicteaching content. SABISE-books currently under development incorporate some fantastic features such as interactiveactivities, simulations, and animations within the lessons, videos, interlinks to prerequisite material, and links to externaresources making the E-books a truly unique and interactive experience. Through an enhanced educational experienceSABISstudents will be better prepared to use technology in their prospective careers and meet the challenges that lieahead.

    RECOGNIZED

    Longevity in an organization is a reection of its success in meeting customer needs, and

    education as an industry is no different. And along with success comes recognition.

    As testimony to the success of the SABIS Educational System, SABIS and its U.S. member

    schools wererecognized throughout the 2011-12 academic year.

    On a global level, SABIS was recognized through the release ofFm Vll Shl

    glbl B: ch h wl huh eu, a memoir written by renowned authorand U.K. education policy expert, Professor James Tooley. In the book, Tooley explores

    SABISs success by tracing its origin, philosophy, development, and determination to change

    the world through education.

    Fm Vll Shl glbl Bis described as a journey through time tracing SABIS

    from its humble origins in 1886, through a myriad of historical ups and downs to the present

    day. It travels across continents, from Kurdistan to Katrina from the rst international schools

    in war-torn northern Iraq, to one of the rst charter schools to reopen after the hurricane

    devastated inner city New Orleans. Its a journey into the minds of committed educators,

    watching as they grapple with the fundamental question of how young people are educated in

    the virtues that have withstood the test of time, while still enabling them to be prepared for a

    future of unknown possibilities.

    For more information onFm Vll Shl glbl B,visit www.theSABISstory.com.

    In this engaging and inspirational book, ProfessorTooley presents the story of one of the most enduringand committed players in the education field. Itprovides a rich background to the company and itsapproach. The book documents the contributions

    of t he company and shows how a private companycontributes to the public good.

    Recognition also came on a national level in the U.S. as member schools and their students continued toreceive accolades. In addition to continuing to help their students achieve their full potential, several SABIS

    member schools were singled out as being the top of their class. Two SABIS U.S. charter schools, theInternational Academy of Flint (IAF) in Michigan and the SABIS International Charter School (SICS) inSpringeld, Massachusetts, were ranked among the Best High Schools in the country by U.S. News and WorldReport. The recognition for IAF also included a top ranking in a study published by Michigan think-tank, TheMackinac Center for Public Policy. The SABIS member school ranked fourth among Michigans city/urbanhigh schools and eighth overall.

    Additional recognition in the 2011-12 academic year was afforded to the Holyoke Community Charter School

    (HCCS) in Holyoke, Massachusetts, which earned a governors citation for its anti-bullying campaign. TheInternational Academy of Saginaw (IAS) in Michigan was named as an Academic State Champion. Andthe SABIS International Charter School in Springeld, Massachusetts, was included in the Washington PostChallenge Index as recognition for its commitment to preparing average students for college.

    SABIS U.S. charter schools were also recognized for their academic achievement at the state level. Amongthose recognized were theil amy f S, L publ ch Shl, MlsSABISamy f n ols, Mu aubu il amy, and the SABISInternationalSchool Phoenix.

    Recognition of the SABIS U.S. member schools also contributed to the organizations efforts to bring its high-qualityeducational system to more students in the country.

    SABIS U.S. Business Development

    Lll Su editorial urges state approval of new SABIS school in Lowell, Massachusetts

    New charter school is good for lowellOn Thursday, representatives from theCollegiate Charter School of Lowell

    (CCSL) will go before the state Board ofEducation in Malden to answer questionsabout its proposal for a new school.

    The schools Founding Committee,comprising area business and educationalexecutives, will be joined by directorsfrom SABIS international, the learninggroup that will operate the K-5 charter.

    The Department of Education mustapprove the CCSLs proposal, and will bescrutinizing every detail of its proposedorganizational structure, mission, academic

    offerings, recruitment of teaching staffand nancial resources. A nal decision isexpected in February. If all goes well, theCCSL will be eligible to open in September2013 with 540 students.

    The Sun believes the city of Lowell,home to 106,000 residents, needs morepublic-school choices for parents and theirchildren. In afuent communities, the rangeof school choices both public and private

    is broad, giving families opportunitiesto decide what is best for their children.

    Shouldnt Lowell parents have a similarchance to decide what is best for their kids?Damn right they should.

    The CCSL, coupled with the existingLowell Community Charter Public School(K-6), would greatly expand the menuof untapped options. According to DOEguidelines, the city has the capacity tooffer 2,500 seats annually to charter-schoolstudents, yet is under-served by 72 percent.

    The CCSL proposal presents a signicantopportunity for Lowell to improve the

    quality of education throughout the cityspublic school system. Its mission isntto steal students from Lowell PublicSchools as critics contend, but to enhancethe academic development of students whodesire a different learning environment.

    SABIS International has a splendid trackrecord of operating charters in other urbancenters. Its goal is to see that every studentattending its schools goes on to attend

    college. It has been highly successfuin achieving those lofty marks in both

    Holyoke and Springfeld, where thetraditional public schools have struggledmightily. We like the attitude of excellencethat SABIS sets; its a great model forserious learning.

    The states charter-approval processhowever, can be somewhat political eventhough politics, by law, has nothing to dowith DOEs nal decision. Weve detecteda state education bias against SABIS

    simply because it is a for-prot businessorganization. You would think a well-runefcient outt would be welcome, bu

    DOE ofcials hate to give up control toany outside experts other than themselvesThey should be more concerned with theresults of students.

    We hope this mindset changes for the sakeof our children. The Community CharterSchool of Lowell deserves a chance to openits doors and breathe fresh life and vitalityinto the citys educational landscape.

    Drawing on the dedication of the SABIS Business Development and avid local proponents, both determined to provideurban parents with public schools of choice, a number of new SABIS member schools are scheduled to join the U.Snetwork. These include:

    * Lowell Collegiate Charter School: opens as a K-5, with 540 students* International Academy of Detroit: opens as a K-5, with 450 students* International Academy of Livonia: opens as a K-5, with 450 students* International Academy of Camden: opens as a K-3, with 354 students

    These new schools will soon bring a high-quality SABIS education to deserving students and help them master the skills thawill enable them to achieve success in a changing world.

    Bs glb editorial endorses approval of two SABIS charter schools in Massachusetts

    ProviNg themselves by PerformiNgFOUR YEARS ago, state and localeducation ofcials blocked the opening ofa for-prot SABIS Educational Systemcharter school in Brockton. Will SABIS

    meet the same fate this month whenit tries to bring its proven educationalmodel to Lowell or expand its presence inSpringeld?

    SABIS has earned the right to expandin Massachusetts. While the for-protbusiness model may offend some localsensibilities, SABIS students in Holyokeand Springfeld consistently outperformpeers from similar socioeconomicbackgrounds in their home districts.More importantly, SABIS is closingthe achievement gap between its mostlyminority student body and whitecounterparts in the suburbs. InSpringfeld,for example, 88 percent of SABIS 10th

    graders scored advanced or procient onthe 2011 MCAS math exam, compared toa statewide average of 77 percent. SABIS

    is also coming on strong in Holyoke,where its students placed in the top 25percent of schools statewide based onthe percentage of Hispanic students whoscored procient or advanced in math ingrades 7 and 8.

    Charter schools, whether run by nonprotor for-prot organizations, receive thesame funding through the states percapita formula. If SABIS - the only for-prot charter school operator in the state- were trying to cut corners for businesspurposes, it would show up in the data onstudent performance. Instead, its studentsexcel. And waiting lists for the SABIS

    schools grow along with the schoolsreputations.

    In 2008, an excellent SABIS proposal inBrockton was beaten back by powerful locapoliticians who didnt relish competing withcharter schools for students and resourcesSimilar efforts are now underway to blockSABIS from opening its K-12 CollegiateCharter School in Lowell. There appearsto be less resistance in Springeld, wherethe Springfeld Technical Community

    College seeks to form a partnership with theproposed new middle/high school.

    Education commissioner Mitchell Chesteris expected to make his charter schoorecommendations to the state Board oElementary and Secondary Education bythe end of the week. If he puts the interestsof urban students above local school boardpolitics, the SABIS schools should rank highon that list. (Boston Globe)

    It is said that in K-12 education closing the achievement gap between Caucasian and minority students is the civil rights issueof the day. We agree.

    SABIS has a long history of working to close the achievement gap. The rst member school in what today is the globaSABIS School Network started in 1886 determined to address the achievement gap between genders. Success followedand was outlined in a report that powerfully noted a diminishing of the great difference between boys and girls.

    Today, SABIS

    remains at the forefront of efforts to close the achievement gap, even as the issue has expanded around theworld beyond gender disparity into other demographics such as race or socio-economic status. In its two largest membeschools in the U.S., both K-12 schools, SABIS outperforms its host state in closing the achievement gap between Caucasianand minority students. This is testimony to the strength of the SABIS system and its effectiveness in closing the achievementgap so that every student has a chance to succeed.

    Producing Stellar Results

    Driven to provide increasing numbers of students acrossthe country with access to a high-quality SABIS education,the organization launched a licensing program in 2006.Enrollment in SABIS-licensed schools in the 2011-12academic year stood at 1,354 students, a number projectedto increase to over 2,300 in 2012-13 with the addition of newlicensees.

    Schools Powered by SABIS benet from a range ofcutting-edge proprietary software, tools, and services thatprepare students for success in college and beyond. Theresources provided to licensed schools include the dynamicSABIS Academic Monitoring System, used for gap analysis,and the comprehensive SABIS curriculum aligned to staterequirements, plus induction training for school staff andongoing support to the school. In the 2011-12 academic year,four U.S. schools licensed the system and were Powered bySABIS; three of these schools were managed by Ascend

    Learning Inc., a non-prot charter school managementorganization.

    The Ascend Learning college-preparatory school designcouples the SABIS Educational System with the NoExcuses school culture to fuel K-12 charter schools thatclose the achievement gap and place every student on thepath to college. Burgeoning wait lists for admission testify tothe strength of the Ascend design.

    Brooklyn Ascend Charter School (BACS) is among the top10 scoring charter schools in New York City according toGotham Schools, the leading independent news source on

    New York City public schools.

    BACSs achievements are even more impressive consideringthat only 2 of the top 10 schools cited are located within theBrooklyn area. Gothams recent ranking was based on theresults of each schools combined prociency in EnglishLanguage Arts (ELA) and math on the 2012 New York Statetests. As a whole, students at the three Ascend Schools,

    Brooklyn Ascend Lower School, Brooklyn Ascend MiddleSchool, and Brownsville Ascend Lower School, performedoutstandingly.

    Individual grade level results were even more impressivefor fourth and fth graders at Brooklyn Ascend LoweSchool and Brooklyn Ascend Middle School posting thehighest English scores of all Brooklyn schools run by chartemanagement organizations. Brooklyn Ascend fourth gradersalso signicantly exceeded the average for all schools in NewYork State, the community school district in which the schoois located, and New York City on the ELA exam. Additionallyfth graders at Brooklyn Ascend performed remarkably onmath tests, with 85 percent of students scoring procienor advanced results, compared to a 65.2 percent average inNew York City.

    The SABIS Educational System is fuelling our academic

    gains and placing our students on the path to college,saidSteven F. Wilson, Founder and President of Ascend LearningWe are excited to partner with SABIS to demonstrate a

    scalable, sustainable model for closing the achievement gap.

    In fact, the New York Charter School Center noted severaof the Ascend Schools achievements in a recent reportincluding the identication of BACS as only 1 of 5 charteschools to show growth of 25 percent in at least one subjecat one grade level. They also ranked the Ascend schoonetwork as third amongst all school networks in New YorkCity for overall ELA performance and rst among charteschool networks operating in Brooklyn.

    The Student Life Training Camp changed my life. I learned that you can always make adifference if you dont give up, that you should dare to inspire someone. I met the mostamazing people, from all over the world that I know I will stay in touch with for a longtime. I cherish the memories and what I learned at this camp.

    - Participant in the Bath Training Camp in England -

    When I first started atSABIS I never thought that Id be able to participate in a camp like this.The camp was a great opportunity to learn new skills t hat will help to improve my school. I amproud to be one of the first prefects to attend this camp... This was a great opportunity for me. Ilearned a lot of lessons that I will use the rest of my life.
