Jerudong International School

The early years of the Junior School consist of nursery, kindergarten and reception. The school follows the UK Early Years Foundation Programme for these years.[16] Junior years are years 1 to 6. The Junior School is usually attended by pupils from age two in nursery to age eleven in year 6.

The Senior School consists of middle years (years 7 to 9) [17] and Upper Years where students are studying for the IGCSE, and later, the A Level or IB Diploma programme (years 10 to 13).[14][18]

The middle years are the first three years of the Senior School and help students to transition from Junior School and prepare for the Upper Years.

Students in years 10 and 11, the first two years of the upper years, study for a two-year programme: the GCSE[14] or the IGCSE offered by Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) and Edexcel.[14]

Years 12 and 13 form a pre-university pathway. Students choose to study either the A-Level Examinations[18][19] or the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme.[20] JIS has a particular focus on preparing students for admissions for UK, USA, Australia, and Canadian universities.

In 2019, around 60% of its students achieved A-Level grades at A* to B boundaries.[21] 35% achieved over 40 points in the International Baccalaureate, with 96% of its students exceeding the world average IB Diploma score.[22]

Ugama is for Bruneian Muslim children born after 1 January 2006. Bruneian Muslim students attend the programme from approximately JIS Year 2 - Year 8, from 3.15pm - 5pm.[23]

The Ugama School was established in Jerudong International School in 2005 mainly to fulfill the need of Bruneian Muslim students for primary religious education, even more so after the codification of Perintah Pendidikan Ugama Wajib Brunei 2012 (literal translation: Brunei Compulsory Religious Education Order 2012). Under the Order, it is compulsory for parents in which at least one of them is Bruneian citizen to ensure their children who are Muslim, born after 1 January 2006 and reside in the country to attend primary religious school.[24] At the end of Ugama years, students sit for Sijil Sekolah-Sekolah Rendah Ugama (SSSRU, literal translation: Religious Primary Schools Certificate). Generally students have completed the Ugama school by Year 8; a few may finish at the later years because they may have resided outside of the country in their early years.

The Sports Complex opened in January 2017 and is situated in the area between the main school buildings and boarding houses.[28] It has two indoor multi-purpose courts, one 8 lane, 25m indoor swimming pool and fitness room.[29] There are also grounds for outdoor sports such as football and rugby, as well as another swimming pool of 50m in length with four lanes.[28]

JIS Arts Centre

The Jerudong International School Arts Centre is a multi-purpose complex dedicated to the performing arts which was opened in October 2011.[30] The Arts Centre comprises a theatre, which can accommodate up to 725 guests on normal seating, a Black Box Theatre, an Art Gallery, a Conference Room, Orchestra Rehearsal Room, spaces for exhibition, dance studio and several bespoke drama classrooms.[31][32] The JIS Arts Centre has also become the venue for Toyota Classics Orchestra in Brunei since 2012.[33][34] In 2017, the Earl and Countess of Wessex visited the school and Arts Centre.[35]

The JIS orchestra is one of the few orchestras in Brunei and has performed for international dignitaries such as Crown Prince Al-Muhtadee Billah, Prince Charles of Wales and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. As an expression of appreciation after a private concert, Prince Al-Muhtadee Billah gave the JIS Orchestra the Brunei model of the Fazioli concert grand piano which was produced with inlays of precious stones, mother of pearl and exotic woods. The piano is reportedly worth over US$400,000.
