The School Placement Process: Timeline and Preparation
Successful school placement in Bali requires planning well in advance of your move. Most competitive international schools begin their admissions cycle 6-12 months before the academic year starts, with limited mid-year entry options. Our school placement process begins with understanding your children’s educational history, learning style, specific needs, and your family’s educational priorities. We arrange campus tours and meetings with admissions teams, prepare application packages, coordinate entrance assessments, manage waitlist positions if necessary, and facilitate smooth onboarding once acceptance is confirmed. For children with special educational needs, we identify schools with appropriate support services and ensure Individual Education Plans (IEPs) are properly communicated. Our ongoing relationship with school administrations means we can often facilitate placements in competitive situations where independent applications face long waitlists.
