| Recent tweets from @jisbrunei Jerudong International School (JIS) founded in 1997 is in the small, beautiful country of Brunei Darussalam, on the island of Borneo. The School ethos is based around six key aims: Leadership, Active Engagement, Language, Integration, Thinking and Participation, working together to empower students to achieve excellence in all that they do. Academic Excellence JIS is a fully accredited 'British School Overseas', a large, thriving school with over 1700 students from 55 countries from 3-18 years in age, offering a broad, liberal education in the best traditions of western independent schools. It is a leading British international school in South East Asia preparing students for I/GCSEs, A levels and the IB Diploma. JIS examination results have been excellent with students entering the best Universities in the world. Recent graduate destinations include in the UK - Cambridge, LSE, Imperial College, Berkeley University (USA), Australian National University and Melbourne University, National University of Singapore. JIS is an international member of the prestigious UK based HMC organisation, as well as COBIS, FOBISIA and the BSA. JIS is an IB World School. JIS has almost 200 highly qualified teachers primarily from the UK but also a small number from Australia, New Zealand. Our language teachers are native language speakers from China, France and Brunei. We pride ourselves on providing an education that is not only academically challenging but also seeks to develop the whole student. The School is divided into two main sections: Junior School, educating students ages 3 to 10 years and Senior School. Within Senior School, the Middle Years consists of students in Years 7-9 whilst students in Years 10-13 are the Upper Years. Campus The exceptional, purpose-built, fully WiFi and ICT networked school facilities occupy over 300 acres on a single campus near the coast – a short drive from the capital city. Students can use the Arts Centre (725 seat auditorium, dance studio, black box theatre and rehearsal rooms), 26 science laboratories, extensive music faculty, art, design and technology and textile studios, libraries and traditional classrooms as well as the 50m swimming pool, gymnasium, netball/basketball courts, tennis courts and 3 soccer/rugby pitches. In January 2017 a new Sports Centre will open containing an 8 lane x 25m covered swimming pool and 2 large sports halls. A well-equipped medical centre with 5 Nurses is on site to take care of boarding and day students. Boarding facilities The recently inspected and accredited 'outstanding' Boarding facilities for students age 11 years+ are purpose designed and built for the community of 280 full and weekly boarders. Girls and Boys enjoy separate Boarding Houses cared for by experienced staff. The Boarding Housemaster or Housemistresses are all teachers in the School. Boarders can also use the school facilities. A special partnership exists between the boarding staff and a student's family with mutual trust at the heart of the relationship between home and school. Pastoral Care All students and teachers in the School are members of a House (a community of about 70 students) which plays a vital role in establishing and maintaining a strong school spirit. The 16 Houses in Senior School, named after birds in Borneo, provide leadership, mentoring and teamwork opportunities. Weekly internal House sports competitions and other House Events including House Debate, House Music, JIS has talent and Spelling Bees are highlights. Co-curricular programme A strong co-curricular programme exists with almost 300 activities on offer including a wide range of sports and arts activities. JIS has a well-established International Award (DoE) programme - Bronze, Silver and Gold level. The Model United Nations club is particularly popular at Middle Years and Upper Years. Eco JIS, a student led group have developed a number of school wide initiatives and lead Earth Day each year. An eco-forestry initiative has recently started on the extensive campus. The School takes full advantage of the wonderful environment of Brunei. | ||||||||||||||||||||
