How we work
Understanding Bali's educational landscape for expats
01
Comprehensive Bali relocation service and school search
Our service begins with an in-depth consultation to understand your children's educational background, specific learning requirements, and your preferred curriculum – whether international, national plus, or a specialist program. Bali offers a range of educational choices, from well-established international schools following British, American, or IB curricula, to smaller, community-focused institutions. Navigating these options can be complex, and our expertise simplifies this process significantly.
Our expat school search assistance includes arranging virtual or in-person school tours, facilitating communication with admissions departments, and guiding you through the application and enrolment procedures. We understand the nuances of securing school placements, especially for popular institutions that may have waiting lists, and we work proactively to secure the best possible outcome for your family.
02
Where the schools are, and what that means for where you live
Bali's educational landscape is diverse, catering to a wide spectrum of expat families. Key areas like Canggu, Seminyak, Sanur, and Ubud host a variety of international and national plus schools. The choice of school often dictates the preferred residential location, as proximity to school can significantly impact daily logistics. Our Bali education relocation support considers these geographical factors, helping you choose a home that balances school accessibility with your family's lifestyle preferences.
For families seeking Bali relocation visa assistance, we integrate school search efforts with visa requirements, ensuring all documentation aligns for a smooth immigration process. This holistic approach minimises delays and ensures all family members are ready for their new life in Bali.

This includes assistance with housing searches near preferred schools, setting up utilities, and familiarising you with local amenities, healthcare facilities, and community groups. For parents considering professional opportunities, we can also offer insights relevant to corporate relocation in Bali, connecting you with local resources and networks.
We recognise that moving with children presents unique challenges, and our team is adept at providing practical advice and emotional support throughout the process.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of school search assistance is included in a Bali relocation package?
Our Bali relocation package includes a comprehensive school search, starting with a detailed assessment of your children's educational needs and preferences. We then provide a curated list of suitable schools, arrange virtual or in-person tours, assist with application form completion, manage submissions to admissions departments, and facilitate communication between your family and the chosen schools until enrolment is complete. This support covers everything from preschool through to secondary education.
How long does the school search process typically take for families relocating to Bali?
The duration of the school search process varies, typically ranging from 2 to 6 months, depending on factors such as the desired school's popularity, the time of year, and the availability of places. Highly sought-after international schools often have waiting lists, necessitating earlier planning. We recommend initiating the school search as soon as possible, ideally 6-9 months before your planned relocation, to ensure the best possible options and a smooth transition for your children.
Can you assist with school placements for children with special educational needs in Bali?
Yes, we offer assistance in identifying schools in Bali that are equipped to support children with special educational needs (SEN). We work to understand your child's specific requirements and then research institutions that offer appropriate resources, specialist teachers, and inclusive learning environments. While options for highly specialised SEN support may be more limited than in some Western countries, we endeavour to find the most suitable educational setting available, providing detailed information on each school's capacity to cater to individual needs.
