The number of people moving to Bali keeps growing. You hear it all the time, “I’m moving to Bali”,I’m relocating to Bali”, “I’m retiring and moving to Bali”. Add to that the expats already here who have since had kids and you’ll get a sense of the need for more education facilities for children. Local schools in Bali are cheap, actually free for the first couple of years. Standards are low and equipment is basic. The 2 little Balinese kids who live around the corner from my use cannot count to 5 or repeat any letters from the alphabet, though they are already 4 and 5. Sending your kid to a local Balinese school is not an option for a westerner and fortunately you don’t have to. For expats living in Bali there are many options and the list is growing. The Bali Advertiser, the local free paper that comes packed with ads, features some of the options.
