Hi,
We are relocating to Bali, my husband work is in Kuta so we wish to find the school for our children near this area. Oldest son is 15 years old, second son is 4 and youngest daughter is 2 years old, please recommend us the international school which school fee is medium as we have to pay school fee for all of them by ourselves (not my husband company pay). I looked up on internet and found the Asian international school, emailed them twice but nobody reply my email, how is the quality of this school?
And also if someone know the house/villa (in compound is good) with 3 or 4 bed rooms, a small garden is fine. Price is around 700-800usd/month (or bit more is fine)? We officially move in at the beginning July 2015.

Last question: in Ho Chi Minh (Vietnam) we have the group "AnphuNeighbours" This mailing group is to share all kinds of valuable information that make life easier in Ho Chi Minh - questions, advice required, events, culture, openings, festivals, concerts, dance, language, yoga, bazaars, selling and buying of 2nd hand items, housing (no agents) and employment for domestic staff,
Do anyone know in Bali also have same mailing group like this?
Much appreciate for your reply.

Since you are going to be living 鈥渄own south鈥� you should be happy to know that there are a myriad of schools to choose from down there.聽

You say you鈥檙e arriving in early July.聽 The academic school year starts right at that time鈥o, you might want to consider keeping your school age kids out of school for the first term while you do more research on the 鈥渞ight鈥� school for them.聽 You can do some 鈥渉ome schooling鈥� in the interim.聽

Same goes for housing.聽 As much as a pain it would be living out of a small hotel or guest house for a few months, that sacrifice will pay off hugely in terms of finding a perfect place for you and your family.

When it comes to finding housing, nothing beats having 鈥渂oots on the ground鈥� and cash in hand.聽 The variety of housing, and indeed the variety of areas to settle in 鈥渄own south鈥� are almost endless.聽聽

Good luck with your move!

I'd suggest Canggu Community School
or Dyatmika School

Goodluck!
