Thread: Home schooling in Bali?

Well, my son was born in Australia. His mother is Balinese.

When I said above that a SosBud visa was the minimum visa "requirement", I should have elaborated a bit more. Sorry for that oversight.

We started him off in a local school and because his mother is Balinese, there was no problem (at the time - this was about 11 years ago). The private school required him to have some version of a Kiddies' KITAS, which we got. We had to go to Singapore around that time anyway (probably to renew my SosBud and update his childhood vaccinations- I forget all the details).

I do remember that it was relatively inexpensive - didn't have to pay the US$ 1200 manpower tax, for example. I also remember being slightly peeved that my young son had a KITAS and I didn't.

The situation for 100% foreign children with expat parents is, as you point out, different (and usually expensive). I hope this clears up any misunderstandings.

I can do homeschooling if you're interested. Because, I am a teacher and I taught for some children as well.

Hi Carolina.....could you please send me a PM regarding your homeschooling as I am making enquiries on behalf of a friend of mine who will be moving here with his family in a few months......his wife is Indonesian.

Thankyou very much.

What is the perfect size limit for homeschooling? I have friends who also considering home schooling but dont know if 5 children with ages differences (2,5 yo to 7 yo) would be suitable.. Thanks

Hi,

Actually, I have my team in tutoring kids and all of them are teachers. So, if there are 5 children with differences ages, I will split them in different classes. Because, they have different lessons too. I think, it would be better, if we meet and discuss for more details. Thanks.

Thanks Carolina, but we decided to send our daughter to Montessori school. Good luck with the home schooling program

I am very sceptical of home schooling, so for my money I am pleased with this decision! Well done. Parents are great for suplimentary education
