What are my School Options in Bali?
Most expats will elect to place their children in international schools. Tuition fees can be high, but international schools allow students to continue the studies of their home country. The information below focuses on 9 international schools in Bali, including the ages the schools support and the accreditations received by the schools. The more accreditations a school has the more academically rigorous the school will be. Here are quick links to the websites for 9 schools mentioned in the tables below for quick reference: Pro Ed School, Canggu Community School, Lycee Francaise de Bali, Montessori School Bali, Australian Independent School, Green School, Pelangi School, Empathy School, and Bali Island School.
Note compulsory education in Indonesia lasts for 9 years, including 6 years of primary school and 3 years of secondary school. Although there are national schools available, curriculum and classes are taught in Indonesian. National Plus schools are private and offer an international curriculum. Here classes are in English and pupils usually work towards the International Baccalaureate (IB). This may be an option to consider if you intend on staying a while in Bali.
