Use of technology in the classroom

Technology tools currently used by our students and teachers include E-books, interactive boards and accompanying lessons, an integrated learning system, as well as an integrated testing and learning system.
Beyond the classroom, our students continue to benefit from technologies developed by SABIS® that allow them access to a wealth of online learning tools from their homes, which complement and reinforce what they have learned in class.

Is the school ready to use virtual classrooms when needed? (e.g. teaching lessons online if the school is closed, e.g. during COVID-19 closures)

Yes, E-learning is readily available in our school for all students, from the youngest preschoolers to the graduating seniors should the need arise. Every morning, they can log in to the SABIS® Digital Platform from their tablets or computers at home to check their daily and weekly plans and detailed schedules, in addition to downloading any assigned material.
As part of their day learning online, students would attend a mix of classes, some that have been pre-recorded by their teachers and uploaded onto the SABIS® Digital Platform, and some that are given in a “virtual classroom” environment in real-time. Virtual classes are also recorded and uploaded onto the SABIS® Digital Platform, which students can access to watch again should they need to.

Our students will study towards both the Brazilian ENEM and Vestibular exams as well as internationally recognized standardized exams such as the American-based AP®, ACT, TOEFL, and SAT, and the British-based Cambridge IGCSE.
