The International School of Choueifat (ISC) is a collection of international private schools run by the SABIS[1] school system in various countries of the Middle East. The first International School of Choueifat was founded in Choueifat, Lebanon in 1886 and later expanded to various parts of the Persian Gulf region. The first Choueifat school in the Persian Gulf opened in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates in 1975 and subsequently others opened in other cities across the Middle East. Since 1983 the School has also had a branch at Ashwicke Hall on the old Roman Fosse Way near Bath in England, which is also used as a summer school where students can study and learn sports during the harsh summers in the Middle East. In 1985 a branch was opened at Minneapolis in the US.[2]

The education of women has been an emphasis of the School since its inception. Prominent alumni include the educator Leila Saad and the novelist Emily Nasrallah. The school is academically strong and focuses on math and the English language.
