What Bali Island School does

Bali Island School (BIS), originally founded as Bali International School in September 1986 by assignment of the Indonesian Minister of Education and Culture, is a private K-12 international school located in Sanur, Denpasar, Bali. It is an authorized IB Continuum School delivering all three International Baccalaureate programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PS–Grade 5), the Middle Years Programme (Grades 6–10), and the Diploma Programme (Grades 11–12). The school's core technology is the IB curriculum framework, complemented by academic support services including English language and learning supports, counseling, university placement, sports and arts programmes, co-curricular activities, and community engagement.

BIS employs approximately 152 staff, of whom 48 are expatriate teachers and 21 are Indonesian teaching partners; more than half of the teaching staff hold a Master's degree and the average teaching experience is 16 years. The institution serves expatriate and affluent local families seeking internationally accredited education in Bali, with documented university placements at institutions such as Brown, Oxford, Purdue, and UC Davis. Enrollment is administered on a first-come, first-served, year-round basis through the OpenApply online portal, with on-campus tours offered Monday–Friday, 8 AM–4 PM.

The revenue model is subscription-recurring tuition and fees billed across a four-term school year (August–June), supplemented by a one-time application fee that secures a seat. BIS is independently operated with no disclosed parent company, institutional investor, or public listing, and has a single campus at Jalan Danau Buyan IV No. 15, Sanur. Demand generation is conducted through organic social media (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn), email newsletters, blog content, virtual tours, and Parent Teacher Association referrals.
