Singaraja Montessori School

A bilingual Montessori in Lovina on the quiet north coast, running Playgroup through Primary, ages roughly 3 to 12. The only school of its kind in Singaraja and one of the few credible options for international families based in north Bali.

Three mixed-age classrooms, English and Indonesian as joint languages of instruction, fees in the IDR 16 to 18 million range which is far below the Canggu and Ubud Montessori options. The intake reflects the local north-Bali community more than the south-Bali expat circuit.

Parent feedback is short but consistently warm. Children come out confident, with strong oral English and an unusually mature take on independent thinking by Bali-school standards. The natural ceiling is age 12. Families settled in north Bali for the long term need a plan for secondary, since the closest credible secondary options are a two-hour drive south.

• Tiny review pool. One verified parent rating is small on the International Schools Database, with a small handful of testimonials echoing the same notes.
• Parents describe a hands-on Montessori approach where children move at their own pace. One parent said their three-year-old's critical thinking surprised them.
• Bilingual setup with Indonesian as primary and English as second; expat parents in Lovina value the rare Montessori option in north Bali.
• No negative signal surfaced online. Equally, no large independent review base to weigh it against, so any read is provisional.
