With eighty schools in fifteen countries and over sixty thousand students, SABIS is a global education company committed to improving lives. SABIS 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 Tooleyis a professor of education policy at Newcastle University. His previous books include The Beautiful Treeand Educational Equality.
