Children of the World School

A small Kerobokan school running a UK-based curriculum with a clear social mission: roughly 40 percent of pupils are local Indonesian children on free or subsidised places, funded by the fee-paying families.

Ages two to sixteen, English-medium, with elements of the Finnish approach woven into the primary years. The school works towards Cambridge IGCSE for older students by registering them as private candidates through a Cambridge centre, and offers the local Indonesian exam route alongside.

Parent voice is small but unusually consistent. Children are described as polite, curious and visibly happy on the gate. Parents single out the practical, hands-on teaching style and the affordability for what the school delivers. The trade-off is the obvious one for any school of this size and price: limited facilities relative to Canggu Community School or Dyatmika, no full IGCSE centre on-site, and a thin published track record on results. A good fit for families who value the social mission and a small community over scale.

• Independent review activity is light. The pool consists of short Google-style entries from current parents and visitors, mostly positive.
• Parents describe the children as polite, curious and visibly happy; teachers are credited with making learning practical and fun.
• The pay-it-forward model, where every paying family funds a place for a local Indonesian child, is repeatedly flagged as a reason to choose the school.
• A single mother praises fees as accessible relative to Bali's expensive international market.
• No structured forum signal beyond the school's own social channels and one Bali international-schools round-up.
