Take a tour

“There will be no Green School Tours running during the week of December 26th. Please join us again after the holidays during the week of January 2nd.”

In only three plus years of operation, Green School has attracted an extraordinary amount of attention for its pioneering attempt to integrate traditional academic education with environmentally sustainable practices, and we have been honored by visits from thousands of people from all over the world. Whether you who are traveling from far and wide or from just around the corner to come visit us, we look forward to showing you all that our school has to offer, from the magnificent Heart of School to the Begawan Foundation breeding sanctuary for the critically endangered Bali Starling. As you spend an afternoon exploring our campus, we encourage you to imagine how you can bring, in your own way, a spirit of positive change and sustainability to your own community. To help inspire you, we are excited to share our vision for our school and our future generations of global citizens and green leaders. As a tour participant, you will also be empowering our future green leaders in their educational path since all proceeds from your tour go directly into funding a Balinese or Indonesian scholar.”

At Green School, our local Scholarship students represent an important part of our student body. We currently have 18 Balinese Scholars, and are striving to grow this program to 20% of our student body by the 2012-2013 school year. But we need help! Our scholars come from a variety of backgrounds and are striving to become leaders in transforming the face of Bali and its future. These children help to enrich and enliven our student body in important ways and act as a living link to the communities that surround us; your support helps us to continue offering them an education that will empower them to become future Green Leaders of Bali, the region, and the world. All proceeds from your tour go directly to funding a Balinese or Indonesian scholar. If you are interested in learning more about our Scholarship Program and how you can help, click here.

Our public tours run every Monday and Wednesday afternoon (excluding Indonesian public holidays) at 3PM and generally finish by 4:30 PM. You are welcome to come a few minutes early and enjoy a cold drink or snack in our Green Warung, which also serves what has been described as the best cup of coffee in Bali. We ask for a suggested donation of Rps. 50,000 per person for the tour. Children under the age of 18 are welcome to join free of charge. If you are a prospective parent, please click here to arrange a private admissions tour. If you have a large group or have any questions regarding tour fees, please email info@greenschool.org.
