Council of International Schools (CIS) accreditation

International School Brunei is currently accredited through the Council of International Schools (CIS) www.cois.org, having successfully achieved accreditation status in 2005. Successful CIS accreditation means that ISB has met detailed criteria which rate the school to the same standard as a range of international schools around the world. ISB is very proud to hold CIS accreditation as it highlights the quality and international nature of education provision at ISB. The accreditation cycle takes place over 10 years; ISB has just initiated the new process of accreditation to be completed by 2015.

As part of the accreditation process, we will be seeking input from all ISB’s stakeholders: The Board, Staff, Parents and Students. We will be seeking your feedback about the school, its operation and educational provision via a survey in the first weeks of the new academic year. Parents will be able to complete the survey quickly and easily online. It is important that as many parents as possible take part in the survey so as to give the school as wide a range of information as possible.

The  CIS Steering Committee has been set up and comprises of:

This committee will oversee and coordinate the administration of the Accreditation Process, which includes the administration of the surveys, selection of the Sub Committees for the Self Review, completion of Part I and III and to arrange the visit by the CIS Accreditation Team.

Timeframe

The time frame of the Accreditation Process is approximately 18 months, which allows adequate time for all stakeholders to be involved and reflect, make recommendations and improve on current practice and provision in schools.

The Pre-Visit Report

		In March 2013, a small visiting team from CIS, visited the school to determine whether or not the school was in the position to continue with the accreditation process.  This visit was a success in two ways:  One, being that we have been given the approval to continue with the Re-accreditation Process. The second, was the Pre-Visit Report which gives detailed recommendations on areas that the school should focus on in preparation for the next visit.
