At the heart of student life at ISF is the SABIS Student Life Organization® (SLO®), a dynamic, student-led community dedicated to supporting the student body by fostering academic excellence, developing essential life skills, and promoting holistic student growth into confident, disciplined, and resilient global citizens.

A Look Inside the SLO®:

Academic Support Programs

The Academic Department of the SLO® implements engaging academic activities – including peer tutoring, academic competitions, study groups, and shadow teaching – that are designed to build students’ confidence in learning and develop their academic skills.

Anti-bullying Campaign

The anti-bullying Campaign is one of the most important campaigns that is led by the Social Responsibility Department. SLO® members go the extra mile to raise awareness on this important topic, producing videos, designing posters, handing out flyers, and involving the whole school to ensure a respectful, safe, and inclusive environment for everyone.

Sports & Health Events

The Sports and Health Department promotes healthy lifestyles among the ISF community. This department organizes events like staff versus student sports matches, intramural sports for our students, as well as sporting events such as Sports & Health Day and our annual Run-a-thon, a major charity event organized by our students and featuring members of the ISF community running laps around the school track to raise money for a nominated charity. They also host campaigns to promote a healthy lifestyle among students and staff.

Outreach Activities

The student-to-student Outreach Department ensures that both new and returning students are fully integrated into ISF. This department arranges ambassadors for all new students and plans monthly themed spirit days. The department also runs special campaigns such a "Random Acts of Kindness Month."

Giving Back Initiatives

The Social Responsibility Department is involved in a variety of charitable events such as Earth Day and Environment Week, and organizes fundraisers for local charities. The students have also responded to international crises in the past, and provide support to the school's main charity, the ISF Kenya Project.

Primary School Activities

The Lower School Department dedicates time and effort into organizing fun events, such as themed parties, ice skating trips, and visits to the zoo for the students in the Primary School. The department also runs daily academic and social activities for younger students during break time.
