International Schools in Bali: What Parents Need to Know
Bali is home to over 20 international schools offering various curricula. The most established include Green School (nature-based education), Bali Island School (IB curriculum), Canggu Community School (Cambridge), Australian Independent School (Australian curriculum), and Dyatmika School (IB and Indonesian national curriculum). Annual tuition ranges from $3,000 to $20,000 depending on the school and grade level.
Our school placement service includes personal tours at shortlisted schools, meetings with admissions teams, and honest assessments based on your child’s learning style and your educational priorities. We’ve placed children at every major international school in Bali and maintain strong relationships with admissions offices, which can be invaluable during peak enrollment periods when spaces fill quickly.
Location matters enormously for families — a 45-minute school run each way in Bali traffic significantly impacts family quality of life. We always coordinate school selection with villa sourcing to minimize commute times. Most families in Canggu send children to Canggu Community School or Green School. Families in Sanur and Nusa Dua typically choose Bali Island School or Australian Independent School.
