Sabin Social emphasizes the school community as the environment for awareness and the development of capacities that enable students to intervene in society through essential charitable actions. The program provides meaningful pedagogy to prepare students to fulfill their role as socially responsible citizens. Projects include donating books to under-resourced schools, a uniform drive as a sustainable action (including customization and donation), visits to elderly homes, financial and solidarity education, an anti-bullying project, and other initiatives. The aim is to cultivate civic responsibility, empathy, and active citizenship among students. The program supports students' social and emotional development through service, inclusion, and collaboration.
The Sabin International Program serves students from Kinder 5 through 9th grade and offers a holistic formation beyond mastering a second language. It develops citizens who can dialogue with multiple cultures, understand different perspectives, and act ethically and collaboratively in local and international contexts. Learning occurs through immersion in English, promoting natural and meaningful use of the language in daily school life. The program is a Cambridge Preparatory Center, ensuring students reach internationally recognized language proficiency. Key features include a Dual Core approach that integrates English as a foreign language (EFL) and English as the medium of instruction (EMI) to promote language acquisition integrated with curricular content, a student-centered approach, inquiry-based learning, a concept-driven curriculum, and active learning with autonomy, critical thinking, and collaboration. It also emphasizes intercultural experiences that foster respect for diversity and global responsibility.
Wellbeing is supported through a student services framework that includes psychologists and career specialists who assist students in choosing university courses aligned with their interests and abilities, ensuring solid academic planning for the future. The team provides psychological support alongside career guidance as part of the school's commitment to the holistic development and well-being of Ensino Médio students.
The school operates a surveillance and monitoring system policy to protect students and property. The policy regulates the use of CCTV and video monitoring, requiring professional, ethical, and legal use and avoiding unnecessary invasions of privacy. Access to the surveillance system is limited to authorized personnel, and video may be used for the protection of individuals and infrastructure or for investigating criminal activity; it may be used by the Ethics Committee in internal inquiries, not for evaluating staff performance. Signage indicating surveillance is required, and recordings are stored securely with retention of 15 days for standard footage and up to two years for specific investigations. Editing or sharing recordings beyond the permitted purposes is prohibited, and monitoring is not performed in areas where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy (e.g., bathrooms).
