ISB Centre for Inclusive Learning

CIL is located in Panaga, Kuala Belait, a short distance from the ISB Seria Campus. It serves families in the Belait District and surrounding regions, providing a calm and accessible setting tailored for specialised learning.

CIL supports students generally aged 2–13 who benefit from individualised programmes outside a mainstream classroom. Programmes are not assigned by standard year group but rather by developmental stage and learning profile.

CIL is a co-educational, non-residential centre specialising in inclusive education. It operates as part of ISB but provides a separate learning environment for students with additional needs.

CIL offers learning programmes that support cognitive, communication, social-emotional, and physical development. Services include occupational therapy, speech therapy, sensory integration, and structured interventions.

CIL is not affiliated with any country.

CIL is a secular institution with no religious affiliation.

The school day is structured with a predictable routine including academic sessions, therapeutic blocks, play, and rest time. Precise start and end times are tailored to individual student needs.

There is no confirmed bus service listed for CIL.

The Centre for Inclusive Learning (CIL) at International School Brunei (ISB) offers a tailored curriculum designed to support students with diverse learning needs. The curriculum focuses on four core areas: Cognition & Learning, Communication & Interaction, Social, Emotional & Mental Health, and Sensory & Physical Development. Daily routines incorporate traditional academic subjects alongside therapeutic provisions and targeted interventions, such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, sensory activities, and play-based learning. CIL also collaborates with ISB Seria, sharing specialist lessons and facilities to promote inclusion within the broader school community.

The Centre for Inclusive Learning (CIL) offers a curriculum that supports students' social and emotional needs through daily routines combining traditional subjects with therapeutic provisions and targeted interventions.

The Centre for Inclusive Learning is a dedicated facility for students with special educational needs, and it is the first of its kind in Brunei. The programme supports a range of needs across four key areas: cognition and learning, communication and interaction, social, emotional and mental health, and sensory and physical development. Each student follows an individualised programme designed in partnership with families, blending academic subjects with therapies and life skills. CIL is staffed by qualified educators and therapists who deliver both structured learning and flexible support throughout the day.

CIL does not run a separate EAL programme, as the focus is on supporting diverse learning needs rather than language acquisition.

Student wellbeing is central to CIL’s approach, with daily structures designed to provide a calm, secure, and consistent learning environment. The programme includes built-in wellbeing and therapeutic sessions such as sensory breaks, quiet time, and activities that promote emotional regulation. Staff receive training to identify emotional distress and implement support strategies tailored to each student.

CIL adheres to ISB’s Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy, which outlines the school's duty of care to all students. All staff at CIL undergo safeguarding training and are subject to vetting procedures in line with ISB’s safer recruitment practices. The facility operates with the same safeguarding protocols as ISB’s main campuses, including designated safeguarding leads and regular policy reviews.

Families are asked to provide detailed developmental and educational history, including reports from therapists or specialists if available.

An observation or assessment at the CIL site in Panaga is typically arranged to determine whether CIL is the right fit.

If appropriate, the school will propose a personalised programme and outline the terms of enrolment.

Admission is subject to space availability, staffing capacity, and alignment between student needs and programme provisions.

CIL operates on a rolling admissions basis and does not publicly specify a formal waitlist or pool system.
