The school is now at the end of a very busy academic year, and has completed a vigorous self-study.  The self-study looked at many aspects of the school both operational and educational. The outcome of this self-study is a report which is sent to the CIS Head Office in Madrid, Spain and to the visiting team which consists of administrators and teachers from other international schools in Asia.  For a summary of the overall report please click here.  This outlines the main ratings of whether we as a school feel we are meeting, not meeting or exceeding the standards outlined by CIS.  Following from this, the School has had a closer look at its strengths and weaknesses in each of these areas and outlined a plan for improvement.  For a summary report please click here.

For more details of the final report, one copy will be available in the Main Office (from 1st September onwards) for you to look through and notice boards will be updated on a regular basis with further information.

The report will be sent off to the visiting CIS team in September 2004 and the school will prepare for the team visit which will take place during the week beginning 25th October 2004.

Successful CIS Accreditation

ISB has been awarded accreditation status from the Council of International Schools (CIS). This follows a one year self study period followed by a nine member team visit in October 2004.

ISB is the first school in Borneo to successfully complete the process. The award of CIS accreditation status reflects the school matching or exceeding internationally agreed standards. As such, parents and prospective parents can be assured that ISB offers an educational experience that is of the highest standard.
