Introduction

Labuan International School (LIS), established in 1996, is located on the island of Labuan, a federal territory off the coast of Sabah, Malaysia. The school offers both the Malaysian National Curriculum and the British IGCSE pathway, catering to students aged 4 to 16. English is the main language of instruction, with additional classes in Bahasa Melayu and Mandarin. LIS is co-educational and offers boarding facilities. Class sizes are capped at approximately 23–25 students, supporting close student-teacher interaction. The campus features a swimming pool, tennis courts, science labs, and a multipurpose hall. A distinctive feature of LIS is its use of Challenge-Based Learning (CBL), where students engage with real-world problems, such as environmental challenges, to develop solutions—an approach highlighted by its participation in robotics competitions. With a mix of academic and practical learning, LIS appeals to families seeking both local and international education options in East Malaysia.
