In brief
A brand new primary in Ubud that opened in September 2025, operated by The Schools Trust, the UK-based not-for-profit foundation behind a network of British international schools.
Ages two to eleven, English National Curriculum with a STEAM overlay, headed by Raymond Finch. The campus is in the Ubud district rather than the Canggu corridor, which puts it closer to the Green School and Empathy School catchment than the Canggu Community School crowd.
Fees of roughly 230 to 270 million IDR put it firmly in the premium primary tier. Because the school only opened for the 2025 academic year there is no parent voice yet, no exam track record, and no IGCSE pathway in-house. Families joining at this stage are betting on the Trust's track record and the leadership team rather than on results, and will need a plan for secondary years three to four years out.

Reviews
Brand-new primary school in northern Ubud, opened to Early Years in spring 2025 and to Year 1 through Year 6 in August 2025, with Year 7 slated for 2026 and a stated path through to Year 13. Operated by The Schools Trust, a UK not-for-profit foundation behind a clutch of small British international schools in other capitals. The campus sits inside Onyx Park Resort in Tegallalang, with shared access to pools, a gym, and outdoor space. Independent parent feedback does not yet exist; what there is to weigh is the model and the setting.
Positives
- Small primary, British curriculum. Adapted English National Curriculum from age 2 to 11, with the school stating average classes of 8 to 12 and a cap around 20. EAL support is built in, and weekly PE includes swimming.
- Ubud setting, resort campus. Located inside a resort complex in Tegallalang, north of central Ubud, with shared pools and sports facilities. The setting favours families already living up in Ubud over commuters from Canggu or the south.
Considerations
- Brand new, unproven. The school took its first cohort in 2025. There is no graduated year group, no track record, and no independent parent voice yet. Decisions are being made on plans and on the operator's reputation elsewhere.
- Fees. Published fees run roughly IDR 120m to 225m a year across the primary range, before one-off enrolment costs. That sits at the upper end for Ubud and below the established Canggu and Sanur schools.
- Secondary still on paper. Year 7 is advertised for 2026 with the stated ambition to grow through to Year 13, but secondary provision does not yet exist on the ground. Families looking past Year 6 are buying a plan, not a programme.
