Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Submit the application form and required documentation : Parents complete the online application form and pay a non-refundable application fee of BND 200. Supporting documents include: recent school reports, a copy of the student’s birth certificate, medical form, parent questionnaire, two passport-size photographs, and copies of parents’ passports and Brunei identity cards (if applicable).
2. Diagnostic testing and interview (if applicable): Some students may be asked to sit diagnostic assessments or attend an interview to help determine appropriate placement and support needs. These may be conducted on-site or remotely for overseas applicants.
3. Placement decision : The Admissions team will review all documentation and assessment outcomes. If the year group has available space and the student is eligible, ISB aims to issue a decision within five working days.
4. Confirmation of enrolment : Once a place is offered, families must formally accept the offer and complete the enrolment process. Parents receive orientation and onboarding details to support their child’s transition.
ISB operates on a rolling admissions basis and does not publicly specify a formal waitlist or pool system.

International School Brunei’s Seria Campus is a co-educational day school located in the Panaga area of Kuala Belait, Brunei. It caters to children aged 2 to 13, offering Early Years and Primary education based on the UK National Curriculum adapted for an international context. The small campus setting allows for a close-knit, supportive environment where children benefit from personalised attention and strong teacher-student relationships. Specialist subjects such as Music, Physical Education, and Modern Foreign Languages (including Mandarin and Malay) are integrated into the curriculum. The campus has strong ties to the nearby Centre for Inclusive Learning (CIL), ensuring that students with additional learning needs receive tailored support.
There are several platforms that list schools. But only one has every school in Southeast Asia, fully impartial, and designed for parents: doris.
One of the most important early decisions? Which international curriculum is right for your child?
Choosing the right school for your child is a big decision. It becomes even more critical when you're relocating overseas.
