The British School of Bali (BSB), located in Ubud, has positioned itself as a dedicated British curriculum school delivering the English National Curriculum (ENC) in its most structured and traditional form within the Ubud area.

As international school demand in Bali continues to grow, particularly among expatriate and internationally mobile families, BSB represents a focused academic option for parents seeking a clearly defined British education pathway from Early Years through Primary level.

The school follows the English National Curriculum, a framework widely used in schools across the United Kingdom and British international schools worldwide. At BSB, the curriculum is implemented as the core academic structure rather than a hybrid model, ensuring consistency with UK educational standards. According to the school, learning is designed to be both rigorous and accessible, with progression clearly mapped across year groups.

The curriculum is further enriched through international perspectives and local contextual learning, reflecting the school’s location in Bali while maintaining alignment with UK academic expectations.

BSB is currently the only international school in Ubud delivering the English National Curriculum as its primary academic framework. This positions it distinctly within the local education landscape, where alternative international schools typically offer different curricula such as IB, Cambridge, or inquiry-based hybrid models.

The school serves children aged 2 to 11, covering Early Years and Primary education, with planned expansion in line with its growth strategy.

UK-Qualified Teaching Staff

A key feature of the school is its teaching workforce. BSB employs highly qualified teachers who are experienced in delivering the English National Curriculum in both UK and international school settings.

This staffing model is designed to ensure curriculum fidelity, meaning the ENC is delivered in alignment with its original pedagogical intent, including structured lesson progression, assessment frameworks, and subject-specific teaching standards.

BSB adopts a structured academic model that prioritises core skill development while incorporating broader educational experiences.

Key elements of the learning approach include:

The school also incorporates Bali’s natural environment into its learning model, particularly in outdoor and experiential education activities.

Supporting International Families in Bali

The opening of schools such as BSB reflects a broader trend in Bali’s international education sector, where increasing expatriate populations and relocating families have driven demand for more diverse curriculum options.

Within this context, British curriculum schools remain a key choice for families seeking academic continuity with the UK education system, particularly for long-term transitions into secondary education in other international settings.
