What makes a school more than just a place to learn? At Canggu Community School (CCS), the answer is clear: it’s our people, our purpose, and our promise to innovate, thrive, and impact.
This week on the Head of School Blog, I’m excited to highlight some of the programs, values, and achievements that make CCS not just a school, but a thriving learning community — one that stands out in Bali and across Indonesia. And as always, you can learn more about what we offer at ccsbali.com.
At CCS, we are committed to creating best-in-class academic programming for international schools in Indonesia. From inquiry-based learning in the Primary Years to innovative pathways in Years 12 and 13, our programs are designed to spark curiosity, develop critical thinking, and build confidence.
Our students don’t just learn — they explore, question, collaborate, and lead. Whether it’s interdisciplinary projects, personalized learning plans, or entrepreneurial experiences, we ensure that every learner is equipped to thrive in a complex, fast-changing world.
These aren’t just words on our website — they are the compass guiding every decision we make at CCS. We believe:
Our strategic plan ensures that all initiatives — from academic development to facilities upgrades — are aligned with these guiding values.
We believe that learning flourishes when students feel safe, supported, and seen. That’s why we prioritize social, emotional, and physical wellbeing in our programs. With pastoral care, mindfulness, counseling, and strong family partnerships, CCS is a school where students can be their authentic selves and grow in confidence.
One of the most unique and powerful aspects of CCS is our commitment to Gotong Royong — the Indonesian principle of mutual aid and community action. This ethos comes to life through student-led projects, sustainability initiatives, and service learning.
Whether it’s launching a social enterprise, cleaning Bali’s beaches, or forming global partnerships, our students don’t just talk about change — they lead it.
As part of our vision to be a leader in Indonesia’s international school landscape, CCS is investing in ethical, purposeful, and future-ready technology integration. Our students and teachers are equipped with the tools and skills to use AI meaningfully in learning — preparing them not only for exams, but for life in the digital age.
Above all, CCS is a place where people matter. Walk through our lush campus in Canggu and you’ll feel it — a sense of joy, inclusion, and belonging. Our students are encouraged to find their voice, pursue their passions, and celebrate what makes them unique.
That’s what makes CCS special.
