The SABIS® SUN International School uses the SABIS® Student Life Organization (SLO) to develop life skills that empower students to make a difference. SLO functions as a student-led mini-society; prefets are selected to manage SLO, and all students are encouraged to join and participate in academic and non-academic activities. Student Life Coordinators allocate real-life tasks and advise and support students in their efforts. The SLO contributes to educating SABIS Network students who are academically strong, morally sound, mentally sharp, and socially aware.
Admission to SABIS SUN is based on a student's willingness to put in effort to reach full potential, with placement determined by academic attainment and age as a limiting factor. Students entering Grade 2 and above must take diagnostic tests to determine correct placement. Students found to be behind academically are offered options at an extra cost, including Summer School (a six-week program in June–August), Special Lessons (extra periods in weak subjects), and Full-Special Classes (accelerated programs designed to prepare students to join regular classes).
SABIS SUN's goals include a well-rounded education based on a mastery of English and mathematics, and the system helps students acquire a firm command of a second language. English language proficiency is a core component of the SABIS Curriculum, supporting international academic preparation. The program emphasizes developing English language skills alongside other subjects to enable global competitiveness.
