Gandhi Memorial Intercontinental School Bali
IB World School in Renon, Denpasar offering the full IB continuum (PYP, MYP, Diploma) plus Cambridge IGCSE, serving around 500 students from 30+ nationalities since 2007. Annual fees for 2026-2027 run from IDR 76M (Preschool-KG) to IDR 177M (Grade 11-12).
In brief
An IB World School in Sanur that has run all four IB programmes since 2019, pitched at families who want full IB without the top-tier Bali price tag.
GMIS opened in 2007 as the Bali sister of the older Jakarta school of the same name, and now enrols around 500 students from 30-plus nationalities. It became authorised for the Diploma in 2009 and added PYP, MYP and the Career-related Programme in steady steps after that, which is unusual reach for a school at this fee level. Facilities include an indoor pool and a covered sports gym.
Fees run roughly IDR 76 million to 177 million across the year groups, well below Green School, Canggu Community and Bali Island School. That brings a different family mix, more long-term resident expat and Indian-diaspora than the seasonal Canggu crowd. The school sits in the quieter Sanur catchment, so commute is gentle for families south or east of Denpasar but a slog from Canggu or Ubud.

Reviews
- Opened in 2007 in Renon, Denpasar, GMIS Bali serves about 500 students from over 30 nationalities and runs the full IB continuum (PYP, MYP, DP, CP).
- Directory reviews position the school as a value-for-money IB option and call it one of the long-running international names in Bali.
- Facilities feedback is consistently strong: indoor pool, sports gym, science and language labs, music rooms, multi-purpose hall.
- Independent parent voices on forums and Reddit are scarce; most signal is from directory snippets and school-controlled channels.
- The school's older sibling in Jakarta carries more parent traffic online, and the Bali campus is often described relative to it.
