Stella's School Brunei follows a British-type, English-medium curriculum for Kindergarten through Year 6, with Malay taught as a subject in the early years. English instruction emphasizes fluent speaking, reading and writing, with daily lessons covering grammar, comprehension, spelling, writing, and vocabulary, plus regular individual reading supported by established reading schemes and a well-stocked library. Kindergarten 1 to Kindergarten 3 provide the early-years progression: KG1 introduces reading with Ladybird Peter and Jane and basic alphabet and number work; KG2 continues reading and teaches English and Malay; KG3 extends reading and includes English and Malay, mathematics to 100, science, and library. In Primary, mathematics covers counting, operations, sorting and patterning with explicit emphasis on skip-counting. ICT is taught across Years 1–6 with a progression from basic computer safety and word processing to internet use, graphic editing, audio editing, programming in LOGO, and animation. Science is taught across Years 1–6, with a dedicated laboratory and hands-on experiments to foster curiosity, and the curriculum is complemented by assemblies, field trips and Saturday activities; no external qualifications such as IGCSE/A‑Level are listed for progression beyond Year 6.

1. Eligibility and space for Kindergarten: Stella's School Brunei requires students to be 3 years old to enter Kindergarten One. Transfers into Kindergarten 2 or Kindergarten 3 are not accepted due to limited space. Enrollment by birthdate determines eligibility for the upcoming entry year: students born 1 Jan – 31 Dec 2018 are eligible for Kindergarten 1 in 2022; those born 2019 are eligible in 2023; and those born 2020 are eligible in 2024.

2. Meet-and-Greet and initial offer: After you register, the school will arrange a Meet and Greet session by phone call a year before the child enters Kindergarten. This session is an opportunity to ask questions about the programme and school operations. Shortly after the Meet and Greet, you will receive an Offer Letter to present to the Main Office before making payment.

3. Primary transfers and eligibility: For transfers to Stella's Primary (Lower Primary – Year 1, 2, 3), there is a Primary Waiting List; transfers require the student to sit for an Entry Test to be eligible to enter. Parents are advised to apply a year before entering.

4. Waiting list windows by entry year: Waiting list registrations have historically occurred in specific windows before entry years. For example, 2021-entry waiting list registration was January–April 2020 (CLOSED); 2022-entry waiting list registration was January–April 2021 (WAITING TO OPEN).

5. Enrollment priorities: Siblings of students already enrolled have priority for attendance. When applying and reporting “sibling status,” the new child will be automatically linked to the same session as the existing sibling (e.g., if the first child is in the PM session, the new child will be in PM as well).

6. Enrollment process and in-person requirement: There is no online enrollment; parents must come to the Main Office to enroll their child.

7. Required documents for enrollment: Bring the child's birth certificate (4 copies), the parents' Identification Cards (3 copies each), and passports (3 copies each of both parents).

9. Fees note: Current fee amounts are not published on these admissions pages. After an Offer Letter is issued, payment is made at the Main Office (payment occurs after the offer). The school states that online enrollment is not offered and that enrollment requires a visit to the Main Office to complete the process.
