Welcome to International Baccalaureate (IB)
The International School of Brunei (ISB) has an excellent and highly successful International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme. It is a warm and welcoming school that strives to provide a highly stimulating and engaging learning environment with a global outlook.
The IB Diploma is a comprehensive and rigorous two year curriculum, leading to examinations, for students aged between sixteen and nineteen.
Based on a range of educational philosophies, it is a deliberate compromise between the specialization required in some national systems and the breadth preferred in others.
It is designed to equip young people with skills and knowledge necessary for successful study in institutions of higher education and for life-long learning. We actively promote the IB learner profile throughout the whole school to ensure that each student fulfils their potential.
An additional aim of the IB Diploma Programme is to develop the whole person. At ISB we offer a wide range of subjects and over and above this, we provide our students with ample opportunities to participate in the CAS (Creativity, Action and Service) Programme. Many of the projects undertaken give a sense of social responsibility and an awareness of the needs of others.
At ISB we believe that our students should enjoy what they study and how they study and therefore we encourage the development of a global awareness and communication skills necessary to bridge international barriers. It is also our intention that the IB graduates will have developed an understanding of their place in the world, recognizing in it opportunity for personal growth as well as the satisfaction that comes from contributing to a successful team effort.
We have a diploma pass rate above the world average and have had 2 students achieve the maximum mark of 45 points during the last 3 years. We are also very proud in the fact that all of our IB students wishing to move onto higher education do so. There are ex ISB graduates studying at top universities all over the world.
