Frequently Asked Questions — Wood School Bali

1) Are you an international school in Bali?
We are a registered Bali school offering international-style learning: small classes, visible academics, and a global outlook. We use the phrase “international school in Bali” for comparison because parents search for it; it is not our legal name.

2) What ages do you accept?
Ages 3–18, grouped across Early Years, Primary, Middle, and High School.

3) How is learning structured—do you teach core academics?
Yes. Reading, writing, and mathematics live inside real projects. Teachers set explicit goals, use rubrics, and build portfolios—evidence you can hold in your hands.

4) Is project-based learning rigorous?
Yes. Each unit has measurable literacy and numeracy objectives, interim checks, and a final product/presentation assessed with clear criteria.

5) Do you welcome worldschooling or short-stay enrolments?
Yes—1–5 week weekly enrolments can be pre-booked when space allows. A gentle trial morning and buddy system support a calm start. (See the Worldschooling page.)

6) What are the fees and payment options?
You may pay per Term, per Semester (10% off), or Yearly (20% off). A one-time Enrolment Fee IDR 15,000,000 secures the seat. Sibling discounts: 5% (1st), 10% (2nd), 15% (3rd). See Admissions & Fees for the full table.

7) How do we apply?
Email admissions@woodschoolbali.com with your child’s age(s), preferred start date, and languages. We’ll book a visit, recommend placement, confirm fees, and issue the enrolment invoice.

8) Can we tour the campus?
Yes—please visit during learning hours. You’ll see live classes, portfolios, and our outdoor spaces. When space allows, we arrange a short trial morning.

9) What about English support?
Buddy systems, scaffolded tasks, visuals, and patient routines help newcomers to English participate fully while keeping their home languages valued.

10) What is your approach to technology and screen time?
Outdoors first; technology supports creation and documentation. Devices do not set the rhythm of the day.

11) What food options are available?
Optional plant-based snack and lunch program (primarily organic Indonesian & Western). Families may pack healthy vegan meals. We operate plastic-free.

12) Uniform / clothing?
Comfortable, activity-ready clothing. Students may choose whether to wear shoes; we discourage clothing with harmful labels. Barefoot play is common and safe in our spaces.

13) How do you support wellbeing and safety?
Small classes, daily mindfulness, and restorative practices. Supervised outdoor areas, clear safeguarding procedures, and calm transitions protect emotional and physical safety.

14) Are you accredited or recognised—will my child have future pathways?
We are recognised by Indonesia’s Ministry of Education (registered under NPSN K9999736). For ages 14–18 we offer pathways (e.g., IGCSE/A-Levels/US diploma routes) and mentorship for portfolios, recommendations, and onward applications.

15) What calendar and daily hours do you follow?
School year = 2 semesters / 4 terms. Daily schedule includes outdoor movement, core seminars, project blocks, lunch, arts, and reflection. Exact dates and hours are shared each term.
