Borneo International School was founded in 2017 in Kuching, Sarawak. It was established to provide quality international education using the Cambridge International Curriculum, covering Year 1 through A-Level qualifications. Initially based in a different location, the school moved to its current campus in Saradise in 2022. The new purpose-built facility supports a growing student population and expanded academic offerings.
The school is part of a larger Malaysian education group that also oversees other institutions like Nobel International and United International schools. While relatively young, Borneo International School has steadily expanded its programmes, student body, and infrastructure since its founding.
Borneo International School serves a growing community of over 600 students representing more than 20 nationalities. The school environment is designed to reflect this cultural variety, with a focus on global-mindedness and inclusion. Students participate in international day celebrations, charity drives, and cultural appreciation activities that highlight traditions from Malaysia and abroad. Parents are frequently invited to school events, where they engage with staff and other families, creating a collaborative atmosphere.
The school does not have a Parent Teacher Association.
Borneo International School in Kuching serves students aged roughly 6 to 18, providing education from primary level through to A-Level qualifications.

The school moved into a purpose-built campus in Saradise in 2022. The new site includes subject-specific classrooms, science labs, a library, and open-air recreational spaces.
