Bandar Seri Begawan - Post Report Question and Answers

What is the availability of international schools? What has been your general experience with them, if any?

Two excellent options: Jerudong International School (JIS) and Brunei International School (ISB). JIS is bigger, teachers seem to stay longer, and has great facilities. On the other hand, ISB is smaller, more open to special needs kids, and has very solid teachers and curriculum. You can't go wrong with either. - Feb 2025

ISB and JIS, but I have no experience with them. - Aug 2014


There are two major international schools JIS and ISB. They both follow an English system but ISB offers an international baccalaureate. Schooling is fairly high standard but may lack the wide range of extra curricular options that are common in the U.S. - Nov 2013


Two main ones. Had bad experience with the cheaper one near the airport. Very good experience with more expensive one near Jerudong. - Dec 2008
