Congratulations SABIS^® Classes of 2021!

This year has been an extremely challenging year that has tested us all, both personally and professionally. Since the start of the pandemic over a year ago, our world has changed; paradigms and pre-conceived ideas have been shattered, making way for a “new normal” that is changing every aspect of our lives.

And there is no doubt that we will all have to adapt to many more changes ahead as we enter an era when there will be continuous disruptions brought on by breakthroughs in technology and climate change. And yes, maybe even new viruses!  This is the new world that you, Classes of 2021, are now about to go out and conquer.

But what makes this prospect so exciting is that you have been well-prepared for this brand-new world.

SABIS^® has provided you with a strong foundation of knowledge that has allowed you to reach your academic potential and gain acceptance to the top universities of your choice around the world.

Do keep in mind, however, that in this new world, it is not just academic achievement that will bring you success.  That, would be far too easy!

In this ever-changing world, success will be attainable only to those who embrace lifelong learning, constantly adapting and re-skilling themselves in order to remain relevant. This is the key to success….and this is the most important skill that SABIS^® has taught you.

It is now time for you to go out there, spread your wings, and join the ranks of SABIS^® alumni who are already adapting to and leading change in the world. Our alumni are working at NASA, running successful businesses, leading scientific expeditions, founding charities, working as innovators, writers, pilots, teachers, engineers, doctors, and artists.  They are fulfilling their potential, pursuing their dreams, and reinforcing SABIS^®’s reputation for excellence.  You should take great pride that you are now one of them.

So, in whatever you choose to do in your lives from this day forward, remember that you have within you all that you need to succeed. There are so many possibilities in this new world, so many opportunities beyond our traditional boundaries that require great creative potential. So, be the change you want to see in the world and make it a better place for generations to come.

Congratulations and best wishes for future success!
