Pelangi School

A Pelangi School education values balance; where developing creativity, happiness and wellbeing, positive relationships, an enquiring mind and a love of learning, is as important as achieving international academic standards. Our students are supported by a nurturing, family-like school environment, providing them with opportunities to explore and learn, take risks, try new things, be independent and grow confidently into their own unique characters.

Pelangi School is a private, not-for-profit school founded in 2006 by parents seeking an alternative educational experience for their children in Ubud, Bali. From just a handful of children attending school all those years ago, our school community now includes 200 students representing almost thirty different nationalities.

Pelangi School’s mission is to provide a high quality, holistic education, delivered in English and Bahasa Indonesia, for children from Ubud and surrounding areas. Through education, we are dedicated to inspiring children to become responsible, self-motivated, creative, environmentally and socially conscientious, well rounded, happy individuals.

Our vision is that children leave our school with:

• A set of values – honesty, integrity and good judgement.
• A complement of skills – linguistic, mathematical, scientific, artistic, physical and social.
• An enquiring and discriminating mind and a desire for knowledge.
• Strong self-esteem and high personal expectations.
• Tolerance and respect for others.

Learning in a holistic educational environment like Pelangi School is about honouring the culture of childhood, so that children are engaged and enthusiastic. Our Ethos are.

• Pelangi School is a place where children love to learn.
• We strive to help our children become knowledgeable, healthy, creative and happy individuals.
• We respect the whole child and his or her different development stages.
• We respect individual needs.
• We believe that children need to ‘do’ through play and outdoor activities.
• We believe children need to feel and express themselves.
• We believe children need to think, question, explore, imagine, identify and solve problems, as well as take action.
• Our students are active partners in learning with our teachers as guides and facilitators.
• We believe in building quality relationships. We are proud of the strong bonds of trust and respect among the school community.
