Can you tell me anything about the housing or school in either or one of the above towns. I am not sure of the spelling of either one of them. I have a 17 year old daughter that will be in school there. She is my main concern. She has lived abroad in the past. Our last assignment was in Singapore. It has been 5 years back. I am looking for input.

Thanks
Karen

Dear Karen,

Jerudong is a "satellite town" of the "super rich and famous" of the locals. It has a world class international school which in my mind best suited to the educational development of your 17 year old daughter. This school by the name of Jerudong International School (JIS) follows pretty closely to the UK educational system; offering a wide range of subjects.

On the matter of housing, there is plenty of private houses and apartments to choose from in Jerudong or Bandar Seri Begawan (BSB) - the capital of Brunei Darussalam.

In KB, we have Panaga School and the Hornbill School....catering to the needs of expats (mainly Shell expats and British soldiers/personnel). It is a very small town with a very rich diversity in its society. Housing should not be a problem.

For a challenging life style, BSB can perhaps be your cup of tea.
