St. Andrew's School, Brunei
St. Andrew's School (SAS; Malay: Sekolah St. Andrew) is a Christian private, co-education school in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei, that is overseen and operated by the Anglican Church. It is Brunei's first Anglican school to be founded.

History

The school was founded as an Anglican school in January 1956 by Rev. Canon Paul Chong En Siong, as a primary school with 70 students and 3 teachers. It was the first Anglican school in Brunei. Until 1964 it was based in a church vicarage. That year it moved to its current locations, a site donated by Dato Paduka Ong Kim Kee. The Ministry of Religious Affairs has provided all Islamic Religious Knowledge professors with a temporary position since 1971. The school introduced computer studies classes in 1995.

Around 1000 students from Brunei and other countries attended the school in 2009; it offered kindergarten through secondary education. Secondary levels are taught in English, whereas primary levels are taught in Malay. In January 2018, a press release from St Andrew's School formally designated the brand-new parking lot adjacent to the school the Letak Kereta Pengiran Muda Haji 'Abdul 'Azim (Prince Haji 'Abdul 'Azim Car Park), situated on a 1.83 acres (0.74 ha) tract of property owned by Prince Abdul Azim.
