Canggu Community School in Bali is a non-profit private school serving both the international and local communities in the South Bali area and uses the British National Curriculum and employs certified foreign teachers. CCS was established in 2001. There are over 300 students enrolled at the school in grades Pre-school to Year 8. CCS has a secure, purpose-built facility on a hectare of land. This school is located out in the boondocks of Canggu, and if you are living in the Kuta/Legian/Seminyak area, it will take 15-30 minutes to get to school depending on the traffic. CCS has set a maximum limit of 20 students in Early Years classes, 22 students in Key Stage 1 and 24 students in Key Stage 2 and above. This is a fairly large classroom size for international schools. Generally schools limit classroom size to 18 if at all possible.

CCS is not one of the cheapest schools in Bali. The cost for a Pre-school student is $4,200 per year; $5,900 per year for students in Stage 1; and $6,250 for students in Stage 2; $7,600 – $7,800 in Key Stage 3 and $8,800 for the most senior students. They have really increased their fees over the past four years. In addition to the tuition, there is an annual building fee that of $550 at the most. New students pay a one-time registration fee of $700 for the first student and $550 for each additional student. The school website has an excellent Pupil-Parent Handbook in pdf format. If you are interested in this school either for your child or as a possible place of employment, I suggest that you download it.

CCS doesn’t have all the information for teachers that they used to have on their old website. They do have job openings listed online, but no information on salaries, benefits or teacher responsibilities. The school is looking for teachers who are trained, motivated and team players. They hire teaching couples as well as recent graduates. Candidates should send a letter of application and a CV to hr @ ccsbali.com
