Hai Larnes...
to be honest I have no idea how difficult it is to get licensed by the Dep.Pendidikan..This Licensing isn't something that can be done locally, but goes through jakarta,
so I can only guess that it must be pretty hard (or costly), since there are alot of private schools that operate without 'terakreditasi' (accredited) by Negara Indonesia.
If needed I can dive into that maze and find some more info on how to go about to get licensed.
just wondering what is in your opinion "high tuition' fees?
@balihigh, same question for you, how much money are we talking here for sending a kid to an Int.School?
back in NL, schoolfee's depend on alot of things but can get up to a 1000euro per year (12juta) that's a normal school.
for an international school for example "Europese School" fee's are between 2700 and 5000 euro per year..I can't imagine Int.Schools being
more expensive on Bali...

don't read between the lines..i think the words are clear enough...:)
I am sure the fees are quite justified. The visa costs alone are around $2000 for each foreign worker. International school teachers' salaries are also quite high. I am sure some however will work for a little less just because they get a chance to live in Bali. Then there is the cost of land, buildings, computers etc.Surely any future international school in the area will be looking to charge the same ridiculously high tuition fees which the international schools in the south charge?

Hi Gilbert
My idea of ridiculously large fees is $10k USD, which I know is approximately what the Green School in Ubud charges. I don't doubt spicyayam's truth in terms of cost of infrastructure and certainly international teachers' salaries would appear to be pretty high in comparision to other areas, but then, I don't know that much about salaries on the island.
As a teacher at a non-government school with low fees, it is just a whole different headspace for me!
I think 10K USD is an OK fee...if the school is accredited and the graduating students actually gets a diploma that's worth something.
for example the Int.School Amsterdam charges :
(from their website) Finances: In the 2011-2012 school year, approximately 99% of the School’s income came from annual tuition fees.
The annual tuition rates range as follows: Nursery (2 full days) – Grade 12 €5,950 to €21,450.
In addition there is an enrolment/registration fee of €3,500 for new students, and €300 for returning students and a PTA fee of €35 per family
don't read between the lines..i think the words are clear enough...:)
My research is that most international schools charge about $10k per year. My wife used to work at British IS in Jakarta, so i was able to see quite a bit of it. IMHO The price is quite justified. It is like a private school in Oz, just better
