Montessori School Bali

The only AMI-accredited Montessori school in Indonesia, in Berawa, with continuous Montessori provision from infant community through age fifteen.

The school opened in 1998 and moved to its purpose-built Berawa campus in 2017. AMI accreditation means all lead guides have completed the rigorous AMI training pathway, which is the gold standard in Montessori and a meaningful filter compared to schools that simply use the Montessori name. Marion Price leads the school.

Parent feedback is consistently warm on staff quality, classroom environment and the level of attention each child gets. The natural fit is families who already know Montessori well from elsewhere and want their child to continue that pedagogy through to early adolescence. Less suitable for families who want a conventional graded environment with regular tests and a clear British or IB credential at the end. Most students transition out for upper secondary, so families need a plan for the IGCSE or Diploma years.

• Parents writing about Montessori School Bali in Berawa describe a long-established AMI-trained team, large grounds and bilingual English-Indonesian instruction from infant level upwards. The pool of online comment is small but consistently warm.
• One parent said classrooms are large, the campus is big and they feel kept in the loop on their child's progress. Children's enthusiasm at the end of the day is the most repeated marker positive reviewers reach for.
• The recurring practical concern is the school's location. The campus opened in Berawa more than two decades ago, before the area filled with cafes and traffic, and a Reddit Bali thread flags that drop-off and pick-up windows can mean serious congestion. Families weighing the school plan around the commute.
• Critics point out that the bilingual frame is English-Indonesian, not English-French or English-Mandarin, so families wanting another second language as an academic track look elsewhere.
