One of our Community
Days

We offer the education, values and opportunities for our growing Humans to create the Future the world needs.

We do this with true project-based learning - guided by mentors, rooted in real-world experiences and connected by community.

We empower young people to have fun shaping their world with:

  • Critical thinking and confidence

  • Real-life application of academic skills

  • Collaboration, communication & leadership

  • Lifelong friendships & meaningful connections

  • The courage to create and communicate value

  • Future Human Project is built on principles taken from decades of careers in education, enterprise and life experience. We have chosen  Da Vinci Life-Skills (DVLS) as our curriculum partner for 10-16 year olds, who share our vision and values for young people.

  • The Future Human Project Skills Curriculum is built around five dynamic project-based learning pathways that offer real-world, interdisciplinary, and student-led experiences.

    Each pathway blends core academic skills with creativity, problem-solving, and purpose.

    Learners explore, plan, create, reflect, and share projects supported by mentors and peer collaboration. 

  • A school is nothing if it doesn’t have community and celebration at its heart.

    Friday is ‘Village Day’, when we engage with community, explore real-world challenges, and celebrate culture, nature, and time together. These experiential learning opportunities are for students, mentors, families and stakeholders. From guest speakers and workshops, to trips, celebrations and collaboration.

    We are intentionally building an intergenerational community rooted in purpose and place far beyond the classroom walls.  Learning happens through field experiences, service, storytelling, and connection.

    Just as we’ve chosen to live beyond our home countries, our students grow by embracing a world beyond the conventional, learning through life itself.

Our Approach

As parents, entrepreneurs and educators, we believe the school system is preparing kids for a future that won’t exist. Career paths are already changing, leaving young people unprepared for the evolving world of work. We see life as a project - so training young people in a project-based mindset is key to their future success. Future Human School offers a fun, real-world, skills-based alternative where creativity, collaboration and communication build confidence through value and passion.

Minimum enrolment is one term, long enough to take a whole project from start to finish. See our fees here.

Mentors Not Teachers

Our Mentorship Model replaces teachers with mentors. As well as class mentors we have an incredible network of mentors from the worlds of sustainability, enterprise, hospitality, travel, blockchain, permaculture, finance and the arts to mentor and support our young people with real world and tangible experience and advice.

A School with Community at its Heart

At Future Human School we’re very proud of our active parent and family community.

Our members enjoy a range of events, including workshops, parent talks and social gatherings such as theatre trips, camping adventures and of course, end-of-term celebrations.

We hold regular Village Days, when many of these experiences take place. On these days we explore real-world challenges and celebrate culture, nature and time together. These experiential learning opportunities bring students, mentors and families together and we often open them to the wider Ubud community.

Please get in touch if you’d like to receive updates.
