SABIS High School Curriculum Overview
The SABIS High School curriculum organises every lesson into measurable learning objectives called points. For Cambridge IGCSE, these span Grades 9 and 10 across sciences, humanities, languages, and mathematics. Weekly tests, periodic exams, and AMS monitoring all feed into the same pipeline your child must clear.
SABIS Point System — Every lesson objective mapped, tracked, and revisited until mastered.
AMS Assessments — Academic Monitoring System data used to target exactly where your child has fallen behind.
Cambridge IGCSE Alignment — SABIS school content mapped to Cambridge syllabus topics, paper formats, and mark schemes.
Weekly and Periodic Tests — Targeted practice that mirrors both SABIS in-school tests and IGCSE exam conditions.
Grade 9 to 12 Progression — Structured support from first IGCSE year through to AS and A Level readiness.
Our tutors cover the full range of Cambridge IGCSE subjects taught within the SABIS Educational System, from core sciences and mathematics to humanities and languages.
+ additional SABIS High School subjects available on request.
Cambridge IGCSE uses an eight-point letter scale from A* to G. An A* represents the highest level of attainment, reflecting consistent performance across all examined components.
Top Performers - A* Award
The A* grade at Cambridge IGCSE requires outstanding performance across all papers, demonstrating command of both core and extended content at the highest level.
The grading scale shown applies to Cambridge IGCSE qualifications only and may differ from Edexcel, AQA, or IB programmes. Speak to your Academic Consultant for board-specific guidance.
Our students consistently achieve top grades.

SABIS High School students face a dual challenge: keeping pace with the school's Point System while preparing for Cambridge IGCSE external exams. A tutor who understands both bridges that gap directly. Here is what that support looks like in practice.
The SABIS Educational System structures every lesson around discrete learning objectives called points. Students are assessed continuously through weekly tests, periodic exams, and the Academic Monitoring System (AMS). Falling behind on even a small cluster of points can compound quickly across a term.
Cambridge IGCSE external exams test a broader, cumulative body of knowledge. A student who has passed their SABIS in-school assessments may still be underprepared for the paper format, extended writing demands, or mark scheme logic that Cambridge examiners apply.
A specialist IGCSE tutor works on both levels. In a live 1:1 session, they identify which SABIS points a student has not fully secured, rebuild those foundations, and then map them directly onto the corresponding Cambridge syllabus topics and past-paper questions.
Key takeaways
From your first free trial to exam day, every step is designed around your child's SABIS curriculum and Cambridge IGCSE targets. Here is exactly what to expect.

From enquiry to confirmed session
Trusted by families across the Gulf
Your child's first session is free. The tutor reviews their current SABIS school performance, identifies point gaps flagged by AMS, and sets a clear learning plan for the weeks ahead.
We match your child with a tutor who holds a relevant degree, knows the SABIS Point System, and has experience preparing students for Cambridge IGCSE papers in that specific subject.
Sessions run live and 1:1, Monday to Saturday, Gulf Standard Time. The tutor works through SABIS curriculum points and past Cambridge IGCSE paper questions in the same session.
Your assigned Academic Consultant tracks progress across sessions. As external exams approach, the tutor shifts focus to timed past papers, mark scheme analysis, and command word technique.
Our tutors support SABIS High School students from Grade 9 through to Cambridge IGCSE and beyond.
