Welcome Letter (ACS Bali)

Welcome to ACS Bali, the newest addition to the prestigious Anglo-Chinese Schools (ACS) network. Located in the exciting new eco-development of Kura Kura Bali, we are dedicated to providing an exceptional Christian values-based education that fosters excellence, character development, and diverse future pathways.

We see ourselves as an ‘Asian international school’ catering for Indonesian and overseas students who are interested in an international curriculum in an Asian context, combining academic rigour with a broad holistic education, that is, the “ACS brand of education”.

We are looking forward to nurturing our students in a strong and supportive family-focused environment where students are given diverse opportunities to excel.

Our school will have a phased opening to accommodate the construction of our exciting new campus. In our foundation year starting in August 2024, we will be based in the Tsinghua University SEA Campus on Kura Kura Bali whilst the new school is completed nearby. We will be opening classes in Grades 3 – 6. The following August 2025 we will move to the new campus and open classes in Grades 1 – 9. Grades 10, 11 and 12 will be progressively opened in subsequent years.

As a partner school to ACS (International) Singapore, ACS Bali promises academic excellence, following the Cambridge International Curriculum from Grade 1 to 10 and the IB Diploma Programme in Grades 11 and 12.

We are excited to be part of the Kura Kura Bali development project, and to provide our special brand of education rooted in rich ACS tradition and guided by Christian principles. We know that choosing the right school is a significant decision and important responsibility for families, and we invite you to browse these website pages, join our admissions seminars and tours, and talk to key staff, to consider whether ACS Bali is the right fit for you and your family.

Families who apply and are accepted in our school will participate in a transformative and enjoyable educational journey where students are nurtured to become well-rounded individuals, prepared to excel in a dynamic and interconnected world. It is an exciting time to join our new school, and as the ACS motto so succinctly exhorts, the best is yet to be!

Best wishes
