Our school is among the leading private international schools in Brunei Darussalam. We set ourselves apart by providing a warm and caring community that nurture children's abilities. Our balanced curriculum, academic support, and extra-curriculur activities prepare our students for succcess in any setting life may take them.
As in international school in a multicultural society, we value diversity. The many cultures and nationalities that make up our school community prepare our students for global citizenship; appreciating diversity in an increasingly borderless world. Our host culture of Brunei Darussalam provides an immersive cultural experience enriching students' learning while instilling valuable social skills.
Over 28 nationalities are represented in our school. Many of our students came with their parents on temporary assignments here in Brunei. As a Cambridge International School, our school runs on the Cambridge Primary Programme. This is a world-class education programme that engages learners in an active and creative learning journey. Classes are conducted in our Smart Classrooms from Term 2, 2013 onwards – these are classrooms equipped with Interactive Whiteboard Technology implemented school wide across all classrooms, in all levels from Pre-school to Primary.
Our teachers are our best asset. They are as diverse as our students. Most of them are degree qualified, many with Masters degree, but all are equally unfailing in their commitment to deliver quality education. These dedicated professionals provide a positive environment and instil love for learning in our students. We strive to provide a positive learning environment for children where students are seen as individuals and their abilities nurtured to reach their fullest potential.
We have been in operation for over a decade. Through the years many students have come and gone. As they make their mark in the global community, we can say with pride that wherever they may be, we have instilled love for learning in every single one of them. Currently there are over 600 students enrolled in our school from the Early Learning Centre through to Junior School.
Seri Mulia Sarjana International School shall be at the forefront in providing quality international education in Brunei Darussalam. We envision a community of learners involving students, parents, teachers, and staff that are engaged, together aspiring for excellence in an environment that is positive and nurturing.
Seri Mulia Sarjana International School aims to provide quality education accessible to many. We are committed to the development of the whole child; encouraging excellence in all areas by delivering a curriculum that is strong academically and enriched with arts and sports. We do this in an environment that values each child as an individual and espousing global citizenship and social awareness throughout the school community. Seri Mulia Sarjana International School endeavours to:
As an international school in a multicultural society, the school is committed to encouraging Excellence, instilling Global Citizenship, and promoting Social Awareness. Students learn in a supportive environment where excellence in all areas is encouraged and individual abilities recognised. We provide an academically rigorous programme to ensure students succeed in any setting life may take them. This is balanced with extra-curricular activities rich in arts and sciences giving every student the opportunity to excel in their own niche.
Global Citizenship is implemented through a whole school approach. Diversity is celebrated and appreciation of international culture is strongly encouraged. Our aim is to develop students who are responsible for their actions and its impact on the wider world around them. The school acknowledges the uniqueness of every child to develop their self-worth thus empowering every child to recognise that we live in a multicultural society where everyone is equal.
In an increasingly interconnected world, the school aims to develop social awareness among students to enable them to make socially responsible decisions. Our goal is to empower our students with the capacity to emphatize with others as well as the global society. This is hoped to develop their emotional intelligence, contributing to their development as whole persons.
Our school is founded on the principles of Academic Excellence, Global Citizenship, and Social Awareness. It began as a Special English Language class within the former PDS School (now Seri Mulia Sarjana School) established to cater to a growing number of expatriate families in Brunei.
In 1998, the school moved into a new campus separate from the mainstream Seri Mulia Sarjana School (then known as PDS School) and became known as PDS International School. Since then, the school has transformed into a truly multicultural community of learners with students from over 28 countries worldwide.
To reflect what the school stands for and reaffirm the school’s achievements a name change was effected in 2008. The then PDS International School is now known as Seri Mulia Sarjana International School. Seri Mulia loosely translates to “held in high esteem” and Sarjana means “graduate”. It is a name that truly reflects our tradition of excellence in education with our graduates moving on to succeed in higher education.
Today, the school attracts not only expatriate families but also caters to a considerable number of local students. It is a uniquely Asian international school in the rigour of its academic programme balanced by a global point of view; providing a learning experience relished by many and completes the experience that is uniquely Bruneian.
Our Early Years programme is designed as a gradual introduction to life-long learning and formal instruction. Children from ages 3 to 5 yrs are eligible for admission in our Early Years Programme.
Young children at the age of 3 undergo the magical years. This particular year, they begin their first steps in their learning and academic world. At this level, we introduce the skills our young children will need to be life-long learners. They are taught the real basic skills needed to learn in structured language, physical skills, social interaction skills, skills to cope and deal with emotions and skills that will assist them with higher cognitive learning.
At the age of 4 years old, young children have begun honing their sense of learning and relating themselves to a school environment. They begin to accept more structure in their daily learning and are more readily able to accept routines set in school and in class.
The Kindergarten 3 year is an exciting year of any preschooler. During this year, our little preschooler will graduate with independence and countless skills to aid them in their life long learning/education. They will become independent learners in life.
As this signifies the final year in their preschool education, our young children are gradually trained to adapt to a different set of skills altogether. By now, they would readily accept a certain level of structure in class lessons and activities. They come to a clearer understanding of what school is really about. They recognise that school is an environment where they will learn and grow mentally, physically and emotionally. Here they are more socially confident, have higher self-esteem and relate themselves better to others around them in their environment.
Our Primary Years programme is designed recognising the universal need for rigorous academic standards to create both academic and personal success. At the core of the curriculum is a solid foundation of traditional subjects such as mathematics, science, and language. The Primary Years programme provides intellectual stimulation in an atmosphere that encourages the desire to succeed.

It is a useless school. Teachers waste a lot of times at school and give many homework when the exam is near. The time time they work hardest is during home based learning during covid pandemic. All teachers keep on posting lectures and guidelines a lot more than they could teach at school for the same period. And when the school resumes, all those lectures are never touched again. We are just paying for our child sending to their school. How can they expect a student can learn all from homework. Disgusting...
