Welcome to Bali Island School
 

Welcome to the Bali Island School website! We serve the expat and local community who seek an outstanding educational experience for their children with a focus on International Mindedness. Bali Island School (BIS) is an IB World School, offering all three of the International Baccalaureate’s programs, and has been in existence for over 35 years.

We have an amazing community made up of passionate educators, eager students and engaged parents. While that sort of commitment is hard to communicate via a website, we hope you get a sense for how rich our community is through the photos you see. Please also explore our Facebook page, Twitter and Instagram feeds.

As an IB World School, we hold all community members accountable to the values this program adheres to. We are reflective thinkers, principled,knowledgeable but also open minded and we readily inquire. We take risks knowing that we learn through failure. We strive to live balanced lives.
