Jerudong International School (Malay: Sekolah Antarabangsa Jerudong; Abbrev: JIS) is a co-educational, boarding and day school in Brunei, Southeast Asia. It has over 1660 students - of which around 200 are boarding students.[4] Less than 50% of its student body are Bruneians, with the remainder fulfilled by students from 45 countries. Jerudong International School first opened its doors for primary education in January 1997 and subsequently for secondary in October of the same year.[4] JIS offers a British International education.

For the Junior School services are offered from nursery to Year 6. The Senior School offers the Middle Years Programme in Years 7, 8 and 9; the IGCSE in Years 10 and 11. In the Pre-university programme - Years 12 and 13, there are three pathways which are A Level examination, IB Diploma or BTEC International Level 3.

The school is affiliated to several British school organisations such as the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference (HMC), the Federation of British International Schools in Asia (FOBISIA) and the Boarding Schools' Association (BSA). The school is highly competitive academically regionally and locally at GCSE and Pre-University levels. Its admissions process requires mandatory cognitive testing, subject examinations, a written English test, and a personality interview as part of its selection procedure.[5] JIS is rated as the most prestigious school in Brunei by the Good School Guide.[6]
