Regents School Bali
Long-established dual-curriculum school in Denpasar Timur serving ages 2-17, blending Cambridge IGCSE and A Levels with Indonesian Diknas. Three campuses in east Denpasar. BAN-SM Grade A accredited. Fees not publicly listed - contact the school directly.
In brief
A long-established Cambridge-stream school in Renon, East Denpasar, running preschool through Year 11 across three campuses in the same neighbourhood.
The school dates back to 2003 and serves around 800 students aged two to seventeen, with IGCSE and A Level pathways and the Indonesian Diknas programme alongside. Fees from roughly IDR 14 million to 24 million make this one of the most affordable English-medium schools on the island by some distance, and the catchment is heavily Indonesian, Indian and Korean rather than the western expat circuit.
Independent parent voice is mixed. Some families report being happy and read negative comments as sour grapes, others raise concerns about teacher turnover, classroom standards and reliance on solicited five-star reviews. The right test is a thorough campus visit with current parents in the year groups you care about. Families who pick Regents are usually budget-driven or value the Indonesian-curriculum bridge, not those choosing among Bali Island School, Green School or Canggu Community.

Reviews
A long-running Cambridge-pathway school in eastern Denpasar, running Primary through IGCSE and AS/A Level alongside Indonesian Diknas content. The student mix is more local and regional than the Canggu cluster, fees sit well below the headline international names, and the academic offer is straightforward British. The picture from independent commentary is mixed. Parents who use the school speak about a steady community feel and a clear Cambridge pathway, while teacher-side accounts flag pay, turnover and management practices that come up often enough to mention.
Positives
- Cambridge pathway end to end. Primary through Lower Secondary, IGCSE in Grades 9 and 10, AS and A Level in Grades 11 and 12. One of the smaller pool of Bali schools that takes families all the way to a UK-style sixth form on a single campus group.
- Fees and access. Sits well below the Canggu international tier on price. Demand is steady at the early-years end and waiting lists have come up in past discussion, particularly at preschool.
- Local and regional feel. Mixed student body weighted toward Indonesian and regional families, with Mandarin and Indonesian taught alongside English. Reads more as a local British-style school than as an expat enclave.
Considerations
- Staff turnover and pay. Teacher-side accounts describe a pattern of cheaper replacements once staff have been around long enough for a pay rise, and salary structures that get flagged as thin.
- Management culture. Staff voices describe top-down decision making, slow upgrades to specialist facilities, and an in-group dynamic in how things get run. The same accounts also describe cooperative parents and good students, so the picture is uneven rather than uniform.
- Results transparency. Cambridge outcomes are not published in any detailed public form. The school highlights individual Outstanding Cambridge Learner awards rather than cohort-level pass profiles, so families relying on data will need to ask for it directly.
