Welcome to the ISB International Residence, a 'home away from home' for ISB students. We strive to provide an environment where students in our care are treated as individuals and receive a personalised educational experience.
Building a community is the primary objective of the Residence. We believe in a stable, caring and supportive family-like environment where students receive adult guidance through a well resource residential programme. “Family” is the key word and the Residential Staff are committed to providing a positive in loco parentis philosophy for students. ISB is becoming the 'school of choice' in Brunei for many parents and students, because of the quality of education on offer in the day school and the quality of care we offer our residential community.
The ISB International Residence provides students with a unique opportunity. Living together in a harmonious setting allows the opportunity to learn and explore the ideas, values, and histories that underline each cultural group’s uniqueness. This rich experience also teaches us that despite our obvious differences, there are many more similarities shared between us as human beings, which we might not have previously realized. We strive to educate students to be responsible, productive and ethical citizens with the skills to think creatively, reason critically and communicate effectively, with an attitude of respect towards people of other cultures and our environment.
The Residence has a team of dedicated supervisors and support staff that aim to provide an environment where the students are safe, happy and have the opportunities to develop and grow in body, mind and spirit in a structured setting. The Residence Team is made up of three resident/teacher supervisors, a full time nurse/supervisor on-call 24 hours, two housekeepers, 3 drivers and a full-time, in house chef. Food is always an important part of residential life and we offer catering of the highest standard providing an appetizing and nutritional diet that meets the needs of all tastes.
Our residential community offers an environment where students are able to acquire productive and effective study habits and to participate in the wide range of opportunities available to them at ISB. This enables them to achieve, in the classroom, on the stage or on the sports field, and to leave as confident, independent, self-disciplined and well-rounded young adults, ready to take on the world.
