Green School Bali is one of the most amazing schools on earth, is giving its students a relevant holistic and green education.The students come from all corners of the world, many relocating with their parents just for the experience of attending.

Amongst them, fully 20% are local Balinese kids funded by scholarships from generous donors, allowing them to benefit from an international education and facilitating the magic of Balinese culture to fully permeate the education.

Curriculum

The curriculum for younger children is influenced by the work of Rudolf Steiner, who pioneered the idea of holistic education. Older students have the opportunity to study for Cambridge IGCSE’s and a planned IB diploma/certificate course will take them to graduation. Green Studies, which focus on sustainability, and a quality Creative Arts program complement the academic curriculum.

Green School is striving to have the lowest carbon footprint of any international school anywhere, through use of bamboo and rammed earth for its buildings, growing its own food in its gardens, and plans to generate its own power from the river. The central building, “Heart of School”, is one of the largest bamboo structures in the world and has an architectural beauty usually witnessed only in cathedrals and opera houses.

Recent studies revealed that the most important component in student education is the quality of teachers. With this in mind Green School has on staff 21 teachers, including a certified Steiner teacher and a PHD. Seven hold Masters Degrees, one an MBA, four have postgraduate teaching qualifications and 17 Bachelor Degrees.

Teachers

All 21 are qualified educators who are also engineers, psychologists, environmentalists, scientists, film, arts and media people, who choose Green School because they are passionate about preparing children with the skills needed to face the challenges of the future.

What is taught, the way it is being taught and the environment in which it is taught are all vital elements of the Green School curriculum. Students need to learn not just by knowing, but also by doing. We blend the essential subjects that students need to gain academic qualifications with Green Studies, (a hands-on, mud-between-your-toes blend of ecological and sustainability studies), as well as the creative arts.

Teaching methodology

The  teaching methodology is driven by inspiring and motivating students to learn. Our international and multi-cultural student body come together to share their stories in our unique learning environment
