Tell me, and I forget
Teach me, and I remember
Involve me, and I learn.

-Benjamin Franklin

The schools in the SABIS® School Network firmly believe that education has the power to change the world. The SABIS Student Life Organization® (SLO), a distinctive and integral part of ISF Internationale Schule Frankfurt-Rhein-Main, gives students the opportunity to develop 'life' skills that empower them to make a substantial commitment, not only to their own personal development, but to that of their community.

SLO is the students' mini-society. Each individual is encouraged to contribute to help create an atmosphere of respect and care. The specifics of the SLO program are implemented by a prefect system. Prefects who are carefully selected--not elected--manage SLO. All students are encouraged to join in Student Life and to take an active part in their education, academic and non-academic. By working in co-operation with, and complementing the efforts of, the administration and academic staff, prefects add even more value to themselves. Prefects help to raise the general standard all around them; they promote high social and moral values; they encourage participation in a wide range of additional activities and sports.

Through the SABIS Student Life Organization® at ISF, students are helped to become responsible and caring citizens through learning in order to:

• Encourage positive attitudes
• Improve general standards
• Promote constructive thinking
• Experience real-life work and responsibilities
• Improve their communication and social skills

The SABIS Student Life Organization® at ISF is an important part of every classroom. Teams comprised of a Class Prefect and Group Leaders provide immediate help to their classmates. After a teacher has presented a concept and an accompanying exercise, these Prefects check the work of students in their groups and assist the teacher in locating and filling learning gaps.

The SABIS Student Life Organization® at ISF sponsors a multitude of different weekly activities both during the school day and after school. These activities include: many competitive team sports in co-operation with the school's local 'Sportverein,' arts and crafts, ballet and dance, drama, band, choir, private music lessons, Tae kwan do, yoga and much more. Involvement in all aspects of life at ISF helps students acquire and refine skills, attitudes and attributes that give them an advantage in college and beyond. Top universities from around the world are eager to attract and accept those students who have acquired a broad base of such abilities and experiences.
