From Village School to Global Brand: Changing the World Through Education

By James Tooley

Can education be run as a profitable business and still be driven by a humanitarian vision? SABIS(R) shows the answer is yes. With eighty schools in fifteen countries and over sixty thousand students, SABIS(R) is a global education company committed to improving lives. SABIS(R) has successfully managed schools for 125 years--including the first charter school to reopen after Katrina--and this fascinating history explains the new paradigm it is spearheading and will appeal to anyone interested in education. James Tooley is a professor of education policy at Newcastle University. His previous books include The Beautiful Tree and Educational Equality .
