As a member of the SABIS^® Network, SABIS^® Runda has a long-standing commitment to research and development of new technologies designed with the student in mind. As a result, our students have meaningful experiences with modern, up-to-date methods and technologies used to improve and enrich their day-to-day learning experience, enhance their academic performance, and challenge the boundaries of traditional learning environments.

The Right Infrastructure at Our School

In order to move successfully from traditional classroom teaching to E-learning, the right infrastructure has to be in place. That infrastructure includes a systematic approach to teaching, instructional methodologies that empower students to take an active role in the learning cycle and, of course, access to the technology tools that can facilitate the entire process. These are all elements that SABIS^® has spent decades developing and can be found in our school.

The SABIS^® Approach to Teaching

The SABIS^® teaching methodology is a well-structured, systematic, and efficient approach using the SABIS Point System^®. In every subject, in every level, SABIS^® has precisely identified measurable learning objectives, called “learning points.” During every class, teachers present one “point” at a time, and then ask the class to demonstrate their understanding of the concept, actively engaging students in a community of learners.

State-of-the-Art Education Technology

State-of-the-art technology already integrated into our classrooms complements the teaching methodology allowing students to have the very best learning experience. 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 the safety of their homes, which complement and reinforce what they have learned in class.

The SABIS^® Digital Platform

SABIS^® Digital Platform is also an essential element of the infrastructure that facilitates a smooth transition to E-learning. SABIS^® Digital Platform is a new generation, web-based teaching and learning platform. Students and parents are very familiar with the platform, accessing it for multiple purposes such as to practice questions on unmastered learning points, take sample quizzes to test their knowledge, watch On-Demand Tutoring videos, download exam material and homework assignments, and receive important communications from school, to name a few.

Together, these elements, already present as part of the learning experience at SABIS^® Runda, make the move from a traditional classroom to a virtual one easy, efficient, and effective, ensuring that student learning is uninterrupted at all times.

Benefits of E-Learning

A Standard SABIS^® School Day Online

E-learning in SABIS^® Runda is available for all students, from the youngest kindergarteners to the high schoolers. Every morning, they log in to the SABIS^® Digital Platform from their tablets or computers at home to check their daily and weekly plans, see their detailed schedules, and download any assigned material.

In their daily routine, students attend classes in a “virtual classroom” environment in real time. Virtual classes are also recorded and uploaded on to the SABIS^® Digital Platform, which students can access to watch again should they need to.

To ensure that the learning is in fact taking place, students have assigned homework and continue to take regular assessments to test their understanding. While students are working, teachers receive data on their progress and performance, and are able to follow up with their students accordingly.
