Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Green School Bali was conceived by founders John and Cynthia Hardy in 2006. After years of homeschooling, the Hardys wanted their daughters to attend a school they believed in and to stay in Bali. The bamboo bridge across the Ayung River was completed in November 2006, symbolising the transition from idea to reality. Green School opened in September 2008 with 90 students and a tailor-made campus that emerged from the jungle and rice fields. Since then it has grown to 514 students and operates under Yayasan Kul-Kul, a non-profit foundation, with governance that includes the Green School Bali Governance Council, Yayasan Kul Kul, the Board of Learners and the Green School Executive Committee; the Green School Parents Association (GSPA) is part of this governance framework.
Green School Bali describes its community as a village of learners who learn, collaborate and connect globally and locally, including students, teachers, parents, and the local Balinese community. The Green School Parent Association (GSPA) is an active part of the school and contributes to the community's growth. On campus, resources for families include The Bridge, a co-learning and working space for parents, and partnerships such as Kul Kul Farm and Green Camp Bali. The Community section also links to alumni networks and student-led community activities, reflecting a Bali-rooted, global community.
The Green School Parents Association (GSPA) is an active part of Green School Bali whose voice is highly valuable for the school's ongoing growth and evolution. GSPA runs Living in Bali virtual panel discussions for new families, hosted by GSPA, and coordinates with Class Ambassadors and a Buddy system to support newcomers. The Bridge serves as a parent-oriented hub on campus, and GSPA collaborates with parent-led activities and workshops. The onboarding materials describe GSPA's role in mentoring, events, and community integration, and the Events page publicizes these activities. Governance documents acknowledge GSPA as part of Green School Bali's governance ecosystem.
