Internationalism and Sustainability
Internationalism, international mindedness and citizenship
International mindedness and global citizenship are key aspects of our DNA at International School Brunei. In line with this, we aim to:
• Welcome all citizens of different cultures and languages and provide the opportunity to work together.
• Build and reinforce students’ sense of identity and cultural awareness
• Foster students’ recognition and development of universal human values
• Provide international content while responding to local requirements and interests
• Provide diversity and flexibility in teaching methods
At ISB, international mindedness and global citizenship for our students entails adopting a certain value system of compassion, tolerance, and openness to diverse perspectives. Since more than 45 nationalities are represented at our school, students have numerous opportunities to learn, develop and connect. Our students have the opportunity to interact with children/young adults from around the world who have been exposed to a variety of cultures, traditions, and perspectives. Our students are accustomed to being in a multicultural environment, and they quickly develop empathy for the views and opinions of others.

Sustainability and environmental stewardship are essential for society's future and an important part of ISB.
We are honoured to be recognised as the first educational institution in Brunei to construct a complete campus that adheres to the rigorous standards of the BCA Green Mark requirements. This accomplishment solidifies our position as the leading ‘green’ school within our community.
To further reinforce our eco-conscious values, our passionate and driven students take the helm as Eco Warriors. These young leaders inspire and spearhead various environmentally- focused initiatives, both within our school and throughout our wider community. They also diligently audit ISB’s eco-friendly provisions and action plans, ensuring that our commitment to sustainability remains at the forefront of our educational mission.
Borneo Global International Conference
The International School Brunei Borneo Global Issues Conference (ISB BGIC) is an annual Model United Nations (MUN) simulation aimed at raising awareness of serious world issues, developing public speaking skills and growing responsible global citizens.
The focus is upon the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity.
