Boarding

Our boarding community offers our students a home from home. We offer boarding for students aged 8* to 19 years, catering to the needs of our weekly and full boarders. There are two girls’ Houses (Osprey and Kingfisher House) and two boys’ Houses (Eagle and Ibis House).

In October 2022, Jerudong International School was awarded the prestigious Patron’s Accredited Member status by the Council for British International Schools (COBIS). JIS was given ‘Beacon Status’ for ‘Outstanding Practice in Boarding.

By creating a supportive environment, all boarding students will have the confidence to participate, a strong sense of well-being and develop leadership skills.

The Boarding House teams are available 24/7 to care for your child.Each Boarding House has a residential Housemaster or Housemistress and Deputy who are all fully qualified teachers in the school.

The provision of ‘home from home’ facilities for students in the boarding houses, on both a personal and communal level, and the 24/7 support that is available to them in terms of their safety and security.

The very wide choice of activities available to boarders during the week and at weekends, which encourage both individual responsibility and leadership.
