SABIS Elementary Science Curriculum
Five grade levels. One coherent science pathway built on sequential mastery.
The SABIS Elementary Science curriculum moves students systematically from observing living and non-living things in Grade 1 through to understanding forces, states of matter, and basic ecosystems by Grade 5. Every objective is tracked through the SABIS Point System, ensuring no gap is left unaddressed before the next unit begins.
SABIS Point System — Every science objective is tracked and scored individually, so tutors can target exactly what your child has not yet mastered.
Sequential progression — Each grade builds directly on the last, from plant life cycles in Grade 2 to food chains and energy in Grade 5.
Periodic assessments — SABIS students sit regular in-school science tests; tutors prepare children for these with targeted practice on SABIS-style question formats.
Practical reasoning — Science at this level is not memorisation alone; students learn to classify, predict, and interpret simple data, skills tutors reinforce in every session.
Foundation for middle school — Strong elementary science results in SABIS directly affect readiness for the more demanding SABIS iLower Secondary Science programme.

Understanding the SABIS Elementary Grading System
SABIS Elementary uses a percentage and letter-grade system internally, but student progress in science is primarily tracked through the SABIS Point System, which maps each objective to mastery levels. Speak to your Academic Consultant for precise grade boundary guidance.

Why SABIS Elementary Science is harder than it looks
SABIS Elementary Science covers more ground than most curricula at the same age. The Point System means every objective is assessed individually, so a child who half-understands food chains or the water cycle cannot paper over the gap with general effort. This section explains what makes the subject demanding and what a 1:1 tutor changes.
The SABIS Elementary Science programme is organised around tightly sequenced learning objectives tracked through the SABIS Point System. A student in Grade 3 studying states of matter must demonstrate mastery of that specific objective before the sequence advances.
Unlike a general science class, SABIS assessments are granular. A child can score well overall yet still have unresolved gaps in, for example, the water cycle or classifying living and non-living things, gaps that compound in Grade 4 and Grade 5.
A 1:1 tutor working within the SABIS framework can identify exactly which Point System objectives remain unmastered, then rebuild understanding using the same SABIS vocabulary and question formats the child encounters in weekly school assessments.
Key takeaways
- SABIS tracks every science objective individually through the Point System
- Partial understanding of units like forces or ecosystems creates compounding gaps
- Tutors align sessions to SABIS question formats, not generic science content
- Strong elementary science results directly support SABIS iLower Secondary readiness
- Sessions from AED 30/hour with no enrolment deposit or hidden fees

Tell us the grade and unit
Share your child's current SABIS grade, the science unit they are studying, and any Point System objectives flagged in recent assessments. This takes two minutes.
We match your tutor
We match your child to a vetted tutor who holds a relevant science degree and knows the SABIS Elementary scope and sequence. Match time is typically under 10 minutes.
First live session
Your child sits a live 1:1 session online with their tutor. The tutor works through the specific SABIS science objectives your child needs to master, using SABIS-style questions throughout.
Progress tracked weekly
Your Talimat Academic Consultant reviews progress after each session. If a new gap appears in an upcoming unit, the tutor adjusts the plan before the next school assessment.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Everything parents ask about SABIS Elementary Science tutoring.
Straightforward answers about how sessions work, what tutors cover, and how to get started.
How does a tutor know which SABIS science objectives my child needs help with?
We ask you to share your child's most recent SABIS periodic results and any Point System feedback from their teacher. The tutor uses this to map exactly which objectives remain unmastered before the first session begins.
Do tutors follow the same SABIS science sequence as the school?
Yes. Our tutors work within the SABIS Elementary Science scope and sequence, using the same unit order, vocabulary, and assessment formats your child encounters in school. Sessions complement classroom learning rather than replacing it.
How much does SABIS Elementary Science tutoring cost?
Sessions start from AED 30 per hour for Grades 1–8. There is no enrolment deposit, no hidden fees, and you can cancel at any time.
What grade levels do you cover for SABIS science?
We cover SABIS Elementary Science from Grade 1 through Grade 5, including all core strands: life science, earth science, and physical science.
How quickly can my child be matched with a tutor?
Most families are matched with a suitable SABIS science tutor in under 10 minutes. Your Academic Consultant confirms the match and books the first session on your behalf.
Will tutoring help with SABIS periodic assessments specifically?
Absolutely. Tutors use SABIS-style question formats and focus on the specific Point System objectives covered in upcoming periodics, so your child practises the exact type of questions they will face in school.
Can sessions fit around a busy school week?
Sessions run Monday to Saturday and are scheduled to Gulf Standard Time. Most families book one or two sessions per week around the school timetable.
Is there a free trial available?
Yes. Talimat offers a free trial session so your child can meet their tutor and work through a real SABIS science objective before any payment is required.
