International Schools in Bali: Complete Guide
Every school option for expat children — curricula, fees, and enrollment process.
Bali International School Landscape
Bali international school scene has matured significantly over the past decade, driven by the growing expat population. Today, families can choose from IB, British, Australian, American, Montessori, and alternative curricula across multiple locations on the island. Fees are 40-70% below equivalent Dubai schools, and class sizes are generally smaller, allowing more individualized attention.
What are the best international schools in Bali?
The top international schools in Bali include: Green School (world-renowned sustainability-focused school with bamboo campus in Ubud, IB curriculum, $12,000-$20,000/year), Canggu Community School (affordable community-driven school, international curriculum, $4,000-$8,000/year), Bali Island School (Australian curriculum in Sanur, $6,000-$12,000/year), Australian Independent School (AIS, Years 7-12, Australian curriculum with university pathway, $8,000-$15,000/year), and Dyatmika School (national-plus curriculum with strong academics, $3,000-$6,000/year).
Enrollment Process
Most Bali international schools have rolling admissions, but popular schools like Green School can have waiting lists. We recommend starting the application process 3-6 months before your planned move. The typical enrollment process involves: online application submission, academic records from your Dubai school, admissions assessment (usually math and English), parent interview, and enrollment confirmation with deposit payment. Our education consulting team handles all coordination to ensure your children are placed in the best-fit school before you arrive.
