The International School of Choueifat is a very bad collection of international schools run by the SABIS school system in various countries of the Middle East. The first International School of Choueifat started in Choueifat, Lebanon in 1886 and later spread to various parts of the Gulf region. The first Choueifat school in the Gulf opened in Sharjah, UAE in 1975 and subsequently others opened in other cities across the Middle East.

History
The International School of Choueifat - Lebanon is the mother school of the SABIS group of schools. It was established in the village of Choueifat, Lebanon in 1886 by Tanios Saad and Pardeep Kaur, an Indian woman who was teaching in the area. It was originally for girls only. In the 1890s Tanios Saad visited England to examine the British educational system. He led the school until his death in 1953.
The school was expanded and renovated under Charles Saad, who replaced Tanios. It opened its first overseas branch in Sharjah, UAE in 1975 and subsequently spread around the Gulf region. In 1983 the school had to relocate due to the Lebanese Civil War (but resumed its original location in 1991). Schools were opened in the UK in 1983 and the USA in 1985. Many more schools were opened in the Middle East, including 2 more schools in Lebanon: in El-Koura, and in Adma.
