The International School of Choueifat - Choueifat (ISC-Choueifat) is a private, non-selective, co-educational K-12 day school located in Choueifat, Lebanon, founded in 1886 by Tanios Saad and Louisa Procter. It is the founding campus of the global SABIS® Network, which now operates across 21 countries on five continents. The school delivers its curriculum through the proprietary SABIS® Educational System, which combines the SABIS® Point System (a structured instructional method), the SABIS® Academic Monitoring System (AMS) for continuous computerized performance tracking, the SABIS® Student Life Organization (SLO) for student governance, and the SABIS® Integrated Testing and Learning (ITL) computer-based examination platform. Supporting infrastructure includes Interactive Whiteboards in every classroom, a password-protected SABIS® Digital Platform for parent communication, and enrichment content from Britannica Online. The school is currently led by the team headed by Leila Saad and Ralph Bistany, who assumed leadership following Charles Saad's death in 1981.

ISC-Choueifat serves families seeking English-medium, internationally-oriented K-12 education, with an enrollment of more than 1,600 students spanning KG1 through Grade 12. The school reports that practically all of its graduates progress to reputable universities, with documented acceptances at Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, MIT, Princeton, and Stanford. The institution monetizes primarily through recurring tuition and academic fees, supplemented by one-time application and joining fees and fee-based academic support modules including a six-week summer school (June–August), special lessons, and full-special accelerated classes. Admissions are non-selective and processed year-round on a space-available basis through campus tours, phone/email inquiries, and online applications. Additional revenue and exposure are generated through the broader SABIS® Network's global marketing footprint and shared curriculum infrastructure.
