The best way to experience this in the context of a tourist is to book one of their daily or extended tours available everyday with limited slots. We took the daily tour which was done is around 75 minutes with a snack at the end. Our guide showed us around and talked about the difference in the educational approach of this institution. Keep an open mind, listen to what the guide has to say and ask a lot of questions if youre curious. It may not look like it, but this school is for people who are looking into the future.*Ticket price may come off as expensive and my review does not consider the quality of education here, as I have no in depth knowledge on that.
We just finished the Extended Tour of the Green School (incl. a visit to the student village). It is worth your time, energy and money. This is such a vibrant community that leaves you inspired to make a contribution to sustainable living and education back at home (or to come back for a longer stay).The lunch served at the end of the extended tour was one of the best meals I had in Bali. I can highly recommend visiting!
Everything in the school hasn’t been updated in half a decade, projectors barely work, badminton rackets that have broken and rusted, no whiteboards, little to no funding for their high school mechanics classes, school bus that sounds like it’s going to fall apart and many more things. The school hasn’t had any money put into new learning equipment for over half a decade.
Even on a Sunday, a guided tour of the international Green School, a half-hour drive south-west of Ubud, makes everyone want to be, or at least feel like, a kid again, or at least a student – of life, nature, sustainability, balance, creativity, community. For a little over an hour, we’re guided from one incredible bamboo structure to the next at the inspirational, original, unconventional, entrepreneurial, mind-expanding, tech-savvy school and marvelling at all of the idyllic information we receive along the way.
Yeay..finally I visited this amazing school. The eco friendly school with stunning environment in which it uses nature and student based learning. It has a holistic learning. The zero waste and other practices are so great. The suistanable practices are really visible and inspiring. Worthed and recommended to visit. What a great work, green school!
Very unusual and ordinary school. They try to teach children how to be a responsible and sustainable future leaders. They teach their children how to grow their own food, use their own waste for fertilizer, teach them to meditate. They even have their own yoga barn!The architecture is also beautiful!
Finally I went to the Green School! It is not only a school of hands-on experience but it is a whole package of an education, entrepreneurship, art, culture, environment, diversity and mutual understanding. My experience with the Green School is amazing. I went to the Green School to be a volunteer for a Sustainable Solutions eco-festival event that has held by the Green School from 2nd to 4th of May 2019. It was a rewarding volunteering event where I learned so much from others. Inside the Green School I could explore bamboo based buildings, the composting station, millenium bridge, heart of school, their unique dry toilet which is waterless by adopting the clivus multrum system, kemBali center room where we can run the trash/recyclables into something useful and many more. Green School makes me feel and bend like a bamboo!
We need more schools like this!Love the concept of the school and their learning method.If only I can turn back time, Im definitely will study at this place.
Hello i would love to know how much is it yearly prices during this pandemic?
Cool school💚
Green School is a Brilliant Marketing Enterprise, and not a bad school either. They do not have a specific methodology for teaching so you are shooting dice when it comes to teachers. The buildings are super cool and they do have the Green thing going (if you dont mind the compost toilet smell). The High end community is good for networking with too if you have a local or international business. They do have more White teachers than others schools but without a foundation for a common and consistent curriculum, its just a bunch of very nice buildings with lots of foreign teachers that may or may not be great
Ive never been to this school yet, but I heard about it last year from my tuition student and his family.Once I heard about this unique school and its curriculum, I began to fall in love with this school. I have watched almost all of its videos in youtube. They are awesome.I wonder if I might be able to be part of this school it would be such a great pleasure for me.. since I also love Bali and its culture. One of my dream is living in this island and grow old there..Lets just hope and keep dreaming...
It is located in Bali and has students from many different countries. It teaches students to love nature and live with nature. It even produce 70% its own electricity. It is amazing.
A school that is globally recognized for its natural, holistic and student-centred education model. In a word, extraordinary. Big focus on community and sustainability. Students gain all kinds of unique opportunities for growth and learning. Gardening, surfing, walking on stilts, developing business plans and presenting in conferences. Could change the world.
Amazing visit and very inspiring. Architecture, Off Grid, Sustainability and Environmental Education - all found in a single location.
Green School is a great school in a way thats its unique from a majority of schools. Green School encourages its students to be very environmentally aware and very happy, by not only teaching the students there environmental studies, but also by making them do a large variety of fun and amazing activities, such as organic pizza making, coconut tree climbing, farming, bamboo paper making, and even bamboo construction. If Id imagined myself as a student at Green School, Ill really enjoy farming, building bamboo huts and recycling everyday.But although it provides a lot of exciting activities to its students, there is one thing that Green School greatly lacks: Good quality education. Although Green School does in fact teach many lessons that traditional schools would have, such as English, Science, Math, and the local language, their lessons in Science and Math lack depth and they dont have a testing system like other schools to force them to study those lessons hard.But not-so-deep education aside, being a school that involves a lot of group activities, it heavily encourages students there to socialise and make friends or even well-built communities. If you want your children/grandchildren/great-grandchildren, to start socializing with others, or learn to communicate with others the best way possible, or simply just encourage them to make friends, this school is the place to send them to.
A unique school that preach and practice green sustainability and also contributes back to its community. It was a really eye opening and inspiring visit for me.
I went to Green School twice, once for the campus tour, the other time for the capoeira class. I highly recommend doing a tour here. Theres always criticism on revolutionary things. Keep up the amazing work in transforming the next generation!
This is an awesome school for expat children from all over the world. Their education program is very unique since all kids have contact with nature, animals and learn about susteinablity. A great place to learn
Nice school
The most amazing school on earth! Amazing parents to meet, amazing childrens to meet. If you are seeking for your sons happiness, personal responsibility, environment sensibility and a well working brain....this is the SCHOOL.
This place is really cool! I went there with my friends and he took me around the school to see what people normally do besides studying. I wish it was my school but too bad I went to national school instead XD
Beautiful architecture and philosophy. The composition of the school is extremely impressive. A wonderful place to learn!
I learned about the school through social media. It looks good. I am wondering where the students live typically.
Large and opened-school with bamboo design, environmentally school, the toilet was unique, also it has cool recycling center and secondhand shop
Great school with a holistic approach to education and an emphasis on learning through a thematic and extensive hands on approach. The Green School teaches how to live sustainably while improving our quality of life.
The grounds are beautiful and the school has the appearance of an oasis. But, after visiting a few times, this place ends up being more a mirage than an oasis. Not to mention the prices, whether for tuition or events are exorbitant, especially considering the costs in Bali.
Very beautiful surrounding. Excellent contribution to the environment. But the guards are not friendly to non-expat, this has to stop.
Hi! Im obssessed with the idea. I am chemical engineer specialized in renweable energies and my partner is an electrical engineer that promotes initiatives to reduce electric use in different devices and promote that in public schools. We would like to go and work a few months there. is it possible?
An architectural marvel, built completely out of bamboo. As our guide said, You cannot teach sustainability from a concrete box.
This place makes me wish I could be in school again. I wish I could enroll! Its feels like what school should be. The bamboo structures, the food, the barefootedness, the yoga, the connection to the environment and to one another — its all incredibly special. The enclosed air-conditioned ATM near the entrance is just a gentle reminder that it is still very much a business. While that does detract slightly from the fantasy, the magic remains. The events held here are terrific, though tickets are very expensive if youre not a local or a member of the school in some capacity. Ive seen Jane Goodall speak here and Michael Franti perform — both are events that I will remember for the rest of my life.
If I can suggest an alternative I would encourage you to google Lombok Learning Village in Lombok... The program is great as they follow the IPC program and the school principal is very dedicated. my kids are absolutely thriving there and it is more chilled than Bali. Lombok is a beautiful island and the school fees are very reasonable.
A very unique architecture. All buildings are made of bamboo.
Good school I guess. Students learn in natural surrounding.
This school is very good! What an excellent education method!
Very nice bamboo architecture... A great way to introduce pure nature to kids...
Green school is the best international school in bali.location in jalan latu sibang gede,banjar saren ,denpasar .international school with experience teacher,nice attitude ,and beatifull panorama.

They hire the best teachers from around the world. tara
Its not a school, its business without any educational systems.
Great green school. Go green!
This is a beautiful school. but the price is incredibly expensive and the education seems unimpressive
Best school in the world 💚
Cool place to study, too bad it didnt exist during my school years :D
Best environment for schooling. But its very expensive.
Green school sounds like a great school

The green school in Bali was promoted by John Hardy, a Canadian jeweler living in Bali, after seeing the film The Truth Unwilling to Face in 1997. It is the easiest way to obtain bamboo in 3-5 years. The main building materials, the sustainable living base created by the IBUKU design team, are specially experienced by parents and children from all over the world every year;95% of the base comes from the local green bamboo. The green school provides the most natural and organic learning environment for all students. We just went to visit, and we still had to apply before entering. Through a dedicated commentary, we can better understand the people and the founders want to convey. Nature, people and green balance, the bamboo-made main school building is next to the vegetable garden. In the rice field, students here must learn to grow rice, grow vegetables, and cook vegetables, in addition to studying; plastic bags are not used in the school. Plastic bottles are not easy to decompose. Pollutants, 70% of the electricity comes from solar power; even building houses is also one of the courses. Students from different countries are also like a global village. Students from different cultural backgrounds share different human values, and classes are in harmony with nature, so that the body and mind can enjoy the best Natural growth, thinking of establishing an international outlook
Its really interesting, because you can show a full bamboo building structure, even to the furniture, the furniture also uses bamboo. Actually this is a school complex, but because the concept is green it was finally applied to the school building which chose to use sustainable materials, the bamboo. The concept of the school is more like a natural school, I think, so students learn directly in nature. The location of the school is also still close to forests, rivers, a little bit from the nearest asphalt road.
A school opened in 2008 by John Hardy who made a fortune with jewelry. It seems. However, we are cultivating a sustainable environment close to the ultimate in that era, and operating it with poverty, labor, food education, and a global identity. If you have water and the sun, you can live.There are package tours to go, but I think it is cheaper to go by taxi rental. Since only the person who knows the location knows, it is highly possible that the driver does not know. It ’s as Google Maps, but be careful because navigation is wrong. There is a small sign on the street. There are no neighbors and there are many stray dogs, so you should be careful.
The place is quiet and beautiful, the bamboo building is nice and the place is very spacious but some areas are poorly maintained and the security there is not very alert ... a bit slow, I lost my cellphone cm, seen from CCTV ... even though I wanted to go back looking but told to wait until it was a long time ago I finally walked alone. . seems less staffed
Most amazing experience in this place.Outstanding and stunning
I went to visit the facility. The staff explained to me while explaining, but the visit fee of 200,000 rupiah was very high.
The place is cool, all the buildings are made of bamboo, I am very amazed to see it
The place is very nice, the building still uses bamboo with an atmosphere that I really like
The most inspirational nature school, from trash can become goods, the students are very creative, although most of the foreign children are still taught by Balinese culture. I forgot the entrance ticket for the tour at this school, but I got a gift in the form of a bracelet made of seeds, I forgot it, and it was handmade by students there. Oh my tour guide is full English but he explained everything until the detail and friendly. I do not give up if you have to tour here many times
Classic building and natural materials
Can anyone visit? Or is there a special day for visitors who want to visit?
A place that can be very example for other schools. Teach students to be able to joke with nature. Learn to love nature. Learn to look after and take care of him.This school building is average from bamboo that is designed so beautifully ... It looks very natural.
Environmentally friendly Nature School
This place is a learning place that is very close to Nature. All buildings like classrooms are made of bamboo. This is one of the high quality schools.
I have trouble contacting the telephone. can information on August 12 open or not?
Exceptional school innovation, learning as well as practice. Not only knowledge gained, but also with real experience.
Our grandson Esteban lived in Bali and attended the Green School in the years 2009 to 2o12. Superb school to wish all children.
I am troubled in tapping green school activities for my guests, is there anything that can help
Good afternoon .. introduce me ngurah from travel flora bali, want to ask for the price of green school for malaysia guests how much per person
Is this Umuns place or not? a little disappointed. Already got there far. Like not allowed to enter. Even though the intention is just wanting to tour and visit only. Maybe its because were not foreigners this time!
Maybe you could say this place is the only school in Bali that carries the theme of nature
The place is emeyzing because, buffalo and naya have been there with accounts of the streets men
I participated in the tour, but it was good to go! Recommended You can apply for a tour from the Green school site.
It seems to me the most shocking educational protection I have ever known.What I liked the most is the plan for young entrepreneurs.My wife and my dream is to take our children to this educational center someday! Dreams someday are coumplen .....
