Extensive, well-equipped and private
The Boarding Community
Boarding at Jerudong International School is unlike any other.
Home to beautiful beaches, the cleanest air in the continent and some of the most biodiverse rainforest on the planet, Brunei offers a unique learning environment in which our students are able to flourish and achieve excellence. The impressive school grounds are a considerable asset enhancing the overall learning experience. The Boarding Houses are situated within the extensive and completely private, 120 acre JIS campus, with full services including a medical centre, dining room and recreation facilities. Boarders enjoy a short stroll to school for lessons during the day, and the facilities after lessons have finished.
