About this school
Borneo International School is a private international school in Kuching, Sarawak, co-founded in 2017 by Mark Tan, who chairs its Board of Governors. In 2022 it moved to a new purpose-built campus in Saradise, a township about 3 km from Kuching International Airport. The school has more than 600 students from over 20 nationalities.
The school follows the Cambridge curriculum for students aged 6 to 18, taught in English except for Malay and Mandarin classes:
- Primary (Years 1 to 6) on the Cambridge Primary Programme, with Primary Checkpoint in Year 6
- Lower Secondary (Years 7 to 9), ending with Cambridge Checkpoint
- IGCSE in Years 10 and 11
- AS and A Level
Parents follow homework and progress through a mobile app and receive two written reports a year. Primary and secondary students join clubs and extra-curricular activities twice a week, daily lunches are served in the refectory, and community service and charity events are encouraged as part of a holistic education. Students have earned Cambridge Outstanding Learner awards.
