SABIS Elementary World Language Curriculum
Four skills. One sequenced programme that builds year on year.
The SABIS World Language programme introduces a second language systematically from Grade 1, progressing through phonics, vocabulary sets, grammar structures, reading passages, and oral communication tasks. Each grade builds directly on the last, with regular Point System assessments tracking mastery at every stage.
Phonics and pronunciation — Letter sounds, blends, and word stress introduced and drilled from Grade 1
Vocabulary acquisition — Thematic word sets covering family, school, numbers, colours, food, and daily routines
Grammar structures — Noun gender, basic verb conjugation, sentence construction, and question forms by Grade 3
Reading comprehension — Short texts, sequenced readers, and inference questions from Grade 4 onward
Oral and written production — Guided speaking tasks and structured paragraph writing assessed in Grades 4 and 5

Understanding the SABIS Grading System
SABIS Elementary uses a numerical percentage grading system internally, with periodic Point System assessments. Students progress through structured objectives, and results are tracked continuously to identify gaps before they become barriers.

Why SABIS World Language feels hard at every grade
The SABIS World Language programme moves faster than most children expect. New vocabulary sets, grammar rules, and oral tasks arrive in every unit, and the Point System records every gap. This section explains where students typically struggle and what a specialist tutor changes.
The SABIS World Language curriculum introduces a second language through carefully sequenced objectives, starting with phonics and basic vocabulary in Grade 1 and building toward structured paragraph writing and guided conversation by Grade 5.
For expat families arriving mid-year, the challenge is acute. A child joining a SABIS school in Grade 3 from a different school system may have covered none of the prior vocabulary sets or grammar points that their classmates built in Grades 1 and 2.
A 1:1 tutor who knows the SABIS World Language sequence can run a rapid diagnostic, identify the missing objectives, and rebuild that foundation before the next periodic assessment. That is something a classroom teacher with thirty students cannot replicate.
Key takeaways
- SABIS World Language builds cumulatively, so mid-year gaps compound quickly
- Each grade introduces new grammar structures that depend on prior vocabulary mastery
- Periodic Point System assessments test all objectives covered to date, not just recent work
- A 1:1 tutor can target specific missing objectives rather than reteaching entire units
- Expat students joining mid-year benefit most from a structured catch-up plan

COMMON QUESTIONS
Everything parents ask about SABIS World Language tutoring
Answers to the questions we hear most often from SABIS families across the UAE, KSA, Oman, and Qatar.
Which World Language does my child study at SABIS Elementary?
Most SABIS schools in the GCC offer French or Spanish as the World Language. Your child's school timetable will confirm which language and which grade-level objectives apply. We match tutors accordingly.
Can a tutor help my child catch up if they joined SABIS mid-year?
Yes. This is one of the most common reasons families contact us. Your child's tutor will run a diagnostic in the first session and build a plan covering the specific SABIS Point System objectives your child missed.
How often should my child have World Language tutoring sessions?
Most families start with one session per week. Children with upcoming periodic assessments or significant gaps often benefit from two sessions per week until they are back on track.
Do tutors follow the actual SABIS World Language textbooks and workbooks?
Yes. Tutors are familiar with the SABIS proprietary materials and align each session to the objectives your child's class is currently working through.
What grade levels do you cover for SABIS World Language?
We support Grades 1 through 5 for SABIS Elementary World Language, covering French and Spanish across all five year groups.
How quickly can my child be matched with a tutor?
Tutor matching takes under ten minutes on average from the time you submit your enquiry. Your Academic Consultant confirms the match and schedules your free trial session.
Is there a contract or long-term commitment required?
No. Sessions start from AED 30 per hour for elementary grades. There is no enrolment deposit and you can cancel at any time with no hidden fees.
Can sessions fit around a busy expat family schedule?
Sessions run Monday to Saturday in Gulf Standard Time. Your Academic Consultant will find slots that work for your family, including evenings and weekends.
