The school day runs from 9am-3pm every day and after school clubs are 3-4pm.

Devices (laptops/tablets) are essential and used as learning tools. Students need to bring their own device, preferably a tablet, fully charged each day unless told otherwise. We hold a session in the first week of each term to configure devices ready for learning.

• Phones are stored during the day and accessed only with permission.

• AI use is permitted when integrated meaningfully - not to bypass learning.

• Use of tech must be purposeful, respectful, and aligned with school values.

• See our Mobile Phone, Device & Social Media Policy

Yes — our minimum enrolment is one full term (8–9 weeks), which many worldschooling and travelling families choose. A full term means your child can see a project through from start to finish, experience the end-of-term celebration, and properly become part of the group's community — a big focus of Future Human School. Shorter stays of a few weeks aren't available, as students miss the arc that makes the programme work.

Commitment & expectations:
Minimum enrolment: one full term. Trial period: the first two weeks of term for new students. End-of-term celebrations are part of the learning process — families are encouraged to attend.

Students who are unwell should stay home until symptom-free for 24 hours. If a student becomes unwell during the day:

• Parents will be contacted to collect them

• Medication will only be administered with prior parental consent

• For injuries or fevers, we follow our First Aid & Medical Assistance Policy

Term 1: August 10 – October 9, 2026 (9 weeks)

• Packed lunches provided for off-site days and excursions.

Cost: Full meal service is approximately 82,500 IDR per day including 1x snack and drink (payment due every 2 weeks)

We also encourage parents to come and join us in the school restaurant for co-working, socialising and regular parent talks.

We welcome students aged 10–16. Most join our Bridge Programme first, building the skills and confidence for project-based learning, and move up to the Core Programme when they're ready - progression is based on readiness rather than age alone."

We cover both age ranges in one school. Our Core Programme (runs to age 16) spans what families from the US would call middle school and the first years of high school, and what UK families know as Key Stages 3 and 4 — delivered through project-based learning rather than a conventional classroom model.

Yes. We're a progressive, project-based alternative school. Students learn through real-world projects guided by mentors rather than teachers, with portfolios and growth-based assessment instead of tests and grades - an alternative to conventional schooling in Bali for families who want education done differently.

We're in Mas, on the southern edge of Ubud, Bali — set within the beautiful healing and wellness resort Samyama, down a quiet street with sports facilities, cafés and restaurants nearby. Find us on Google Maps here

Our curriculum partner is Da Vinci Life-Skills (DVLS), which blends the traditional subjects of the UK national curriculum into transdisciplinary, real-world projects. Daily literacy and numeracy sessions run alongside four project pathways plus a Personal Exploration Project: Entrepreneurship, Production, Food and Multiverse Gaming.

Students build digital and written portfolios of real, completed work, leading to Da Vinci Qualifications (DVQs) — awarded on successful completion of two portfolios in a project pathway. For families who want conventional qualifications alongside, we support students doing these in their spare time through external providers.

Families pay per term, or per semester with a 10% discount, plus a 5% discount for each additional sibling. Full, current fees and everything they include are published openly on our Fees page here.

Yes, and we encourage it. Book a school tour by email or WhatsApp, or ask about joining a Friday Village Day to experience the community first-hand. New students also begin with a two-week trial period, so everyone can be confident it's the right fit.

Learning is in English, and all students study Bahasa Indonesia as part of every project pathway. Students do need a basic level of English reading and writing so they can understand tasks and join in socially — but if your child is still building confidence, talk to us. Small mentor groups (1:8–1:10) mean support is personal.
