Book description
Can education be run as a profitable business and still be driven by a
humanitarian vision? SABIS? shows the answer is yes. Now with 60 schools
in 15 countries and over 60,000 students, SABIS? is a global education
company committed to improving lives. The book is a journey through time
- tracing the company from its humble origins in 1886 Mount Lebanon,
through the civil war to the present day. It's also a journey through
geographies, from Kurdistan to Katrina - from the first international
schools in war-torn northern Iraq, to the first charter school to reopen
after the hurricane devastated inner city New Orleans. SABIS? goes where
other educational providers are unwilling to tread, helping to rebuild
lives shattered by war and natural disaster. It's finally a journey
through the minds of committed educators, watching as they grapple with
the fundamental question of how we educate young people in the virtues
that have stood the test of time, whilst still enabling them to be
prepared for a future of unknown possibilities. Can education be run
