Cultivate a lifelong love for learning
Michael Everett
Head of Primary, Bandar Campus
Welcome to ISB Primary, where everyone excels. Our students enjoy access to the highest standards of international education in a nurturing and inclusive community. At ISB, we partner with parents and families to unlock each student’s full potential, fostering qualities of confidence, kindness, resilience, and curiosity.
Our international campuses in Bandar and Seria bring together students from over 40 countries, creating a diverse and enriching environment. Through our engaging Primary curriculum, we provide students with opportunities to develop a wide range of skills both within the classroom and beyond. We enable our students to become global citizens; learning from each other’s cultures and traditions.
Our team of internationally qualified and supportive educators ensures that every student’s needs are met within our thriving learning community. Beginning with play-based learning in the Early Years, academic excellence, artistic achievements, sports prowess, and more are a constant throughout our Primary School Curriculum. Our focus extends beyond academics; our students become articulate ambassadors, aware of their goals, their global impact, and the environment.
At ISB Primary, Year 5 marks the beginning of the journey through the Middle Years, where we deliver evidence-based practice to provide a smooth, evolutionary journey. Middle Years bridges Primary and Secondary school and aligns our two sections to come together to form one school.
