Passion, purpose, and the heart of great teaching at Canggu Community School
At Canggu Community School, we often say that a great school is built on great people — and that begins with our teachers. Every day, our faculty brings energy, empathy, and innovation to their classrooms, helping students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
This week, I’d like to take a moment to celebrate one such educator — someone whose impact is felt far beyond lesson plans and learning targets. While we’re keeping this profile anonymous to focus on the spirit of the work, their story speaks volumes about the caliber of teaching and care that defines our school community.

This CCS teacher starts each day with one goal: to spark curiosity. In their class, you’ll hear students asking big questions, challenging ideas, and taking charge of their learning. Whether it’s a Primary class designing eco-solutions or a Secondary discussion unpacking global perspectives, students are encouraged to think critically and connect their learning to the real world.
Their motto?
“If students leave my classroom asking more questions than they came in with, we’ve done something right.”
One of the most powerful things about this teacher is the way they build relationships. Every student is seen, known, and respected. They create a safe space where learners feel empowered to take risks, share ideas, and grow from mistakes.
This deeply aligns with CCS Bali’s core values — especially respect and engagement. Their classroom isn’t just a place to gain knowledge — it’s a space to build confidence and character.
True to our CCS value of balance, this teacher doesn’t just talk about well-being — they model it. Whether it’s leading an after-school art club, surfing before school, or supporting student-led projects, they remind us that learning is most powerful when students feel connected, curious, and cared for.
They’re a mentor, a guide, and a source of steady encouragement in the midst of a busy academic journey.
This teacher’s story is one of many here at CCS — but it captures the essence of what makes our school community special:
At ccsbali.com, we highlight programs, initiatives, and facilities — but it’s people like this who truly bring our mission to life.
As Head of School, I’m honored to work alongside educators who show up each day with passion, care, and a deep belief in their students. This teacher — and so many others at CCS — reminds us that behind every success story is someone who saw potential and nurtured it with heart.
Until next week — keep learning, keep growing, and let’s continue to celebrate the people who make our community thrive.
Warmly,
Dr. Ben Voborsky
Head of School
