Sekolah Lentera Kasih

A Christian-values SPK school in Kerobokan that has been on the island since 2004, pairing the Indonesian National Curriculum with Cambridge from Primary through IGCSE and A-Level. Mid-market in fee terms and family in feel.

The intake is mostly Indonesian families with a steady international layer, and the pull is the structured Cambridge route in a setting that stays small and pastoral rather than corporate. Lollypop is the preschool stream on the same site. English support for new arrivals exists but is not the heavy-duty EAL operation you find at the bigger Canggu schools.

Staff voice is mixed. Teachers describe a friendly, family-run atmosphere with approachable leadership, and also a culture that defers heavily to parent demands. For families that means the school listens, but the academic backbone can feel less assertive than at Bali Island School or Canggu Community School. Suits Christian and locally rooted families looking for full Cambridge progression at a price below the marquee international names.

• This is the Bali campus, which has a more visible online footprint than the Jakarta sister school. Reviews split between parent platforms and Glassdoor staff posts and the two tell different stories.
• The parent line is family-feel and high teacher contact. SLK markets itself as a small school where students get personalised attention from teachers and counsellors and where the principal is approachable.
• The Glassdoor line is more critical. Themes that recur include disciplinary inconsistency, management approach including public-facing staff handling, and concern that bullying behaviour is not consistently addressed. The pool is small (eight reviews) so each review weighs heavily.
• Christian values are central to the school's brand. Parents who choose SLK describe the faith framing positively; some teacher posts describe the same framing as constraining day-to-day practice.
• Curriculum is Cambridge through IGCSE and A-Level, with English-medium delivery and a mainly local cohort.
