Joglo Clubhouse School, Canggu, Bali
Our Program
At Joglo Clubhouse School we do whatever it takes to provide the best schooling experience for our students.
We focus on the Arts, English and Math, and with very low student-teacher ratios we can help each child on an individual basis, and have tons of fun! We employ classic, Montessori, project/inquiry-based, and personalized techniques, as well as the extraordinary power of adaptive digital learning, all dependent upon the subject, topic, and most importantly, the students themselves.

A fun, balanced, global education
Core subjects at Joglo Clubhouse School include Art, English and Math, with students always actively collaborating and challenged individually, resulting in optimal learning and engagement.
The Arts are central to our philosophy of positive growth and harmony, and explored throughout all subject areas. Mixing it up with a little art here and there is a great way to keep the kids engaged!
Additionally, students learn about our beautiful home here in our unique “Indonesian Language & Culture” program, while also finding inspiration in group and/or individual project-based inquiry in Social Studies and Science.
For children already enrolled in an online or homeschool program, we provide the space, materials and support to help them achieve the best that they can. Because much of our school-work is personalized already, we can easily fit your child’s activities into our program.
The daily schedule runs from 8.30am – 2.30pm, Monday to Friday, and classes are short (30 minutes) to keep the students well focused at all times. Morning snack time is at 10am, and lunch is at 12pm.
The Multi-faceted Approach
The most important factor in primary education is that children are happiest when they are achieving progress, what ever that may look like.

Our Subjects
Art
Art is our favorite subject at Joglo Clubhouse School: it’s a time for kids to relax and have fun, explore their creative potential, and calm the mind. Artistic expression plays a central role in emotional well-being, and if inspiration hits us, it can be weaved in with any other subject area. Should a student’s passion be all about Art, let’s feed that passion. If not, let’s see if we can find it!
We are excited to provide opportunities for a wide range of creative activities including sketching and painting, music, dance, crafts, molding/sculpting/carving, performance, language/creative writing, and culinary skills. Our Art teachers are vastly talented and love guiding the students through a wonderful variety of projects, and our piano teacher is incredibly popular (she’s a genius!).
English
As literacy is central to students’ overall well-being, it is central to our school program as a whole and the development of language skills is encouraged at all times. Within all our classes, we always look to encourage the growth of linguistic confidence through fun participation and discussion.
There are English classes everyday at Joglo Clubhouse School in which students enjoy fun classroom activities, personalized based on the students’ individual levels, with specific focus on reading and writing – let’s get our kids using pencils and paper again!
In addition to this, students are free to enhance their linguistic skills with the use of Duolingo for schools and DuolingoABC.
Math
Math is a crucial subject not just for the obvious reasons. Numeracy inevitably has a positive impact on overall well-being – see your child develop skills in Math and watch them also grow in confidence generally.
Believe it or not, Math is fun! The trick is to make sure that students are engaged in activities and exercises that interest them and are pitched at exactly the right level.
Everyday there is a Math lesson at Joglo Clubhouse School, and just as with English, students learn through fun classroom exercises and games, adapted to meet individual student needs , and again getting them happy with that pencil and paper!
Through fun project-based inquiry, Joglo Clubhouse School endeavors to help students feel comfortable expressing themselves while exploring how things work, how we fit in the world, the vast dynamic of the human world, and all the magnificent natural processes occurring all around us.
We are always looking for opportunities to help our students explore their outlook on the world as a whole, and evaluate and express their thoughts and feelings for these concepts. And through an innovative cross-discipline approach to our projects, we strive to inspire further creativity by bringing the Arts into our work whenever we can.
Indonesian Language & Culture
Selamat Siang! Bali is magnificent, and Indonesia is simply incredible. At Joglo Clubhouse School, we believe it is important for kids to understand the place where they live and the people around them – what amazing cultures, and what a majestic place we live in!
There is so much wonder in our home here – to be able to speak to the local people, learn the stories of this beautiful country, and understand this wonderful way of life is a privilege that we simply must tap into! Matur Suksma Bali!
IXL
These days it’s impossible to ignore the astonishing technology available to us, with adaptive programs like IXL driving incredible progress for students all over the world.
At Joglo Clubhouse School we use IXL to further boost our students’ Math and English proficiency. Students answer questions in a diagnostic “arena”, which informs the program of their precise levels in all subject strands. They are then presented, individually, with a comprehensive selection of exercises based on their own levels, with very delicate guidance from the teacher, ensuring understanding while encouraging independence.
No pressure, no comparisons, no meaningless exercises.
With a diligent approach, great progress is guaranteed, leaving us with more time to have fun fun fun!
Fun
We simply can’t leave out the fun that the kids have in our program! Everyday we are outside playing games, swimming, playing in the treehouse, having fun in the classroom, and of course, going on amazing trips around Bali!
Just before lunch everyday, we go even further in our quest to provide more student-centered experiences by allowing the kids to engage in whatever activity they feel drawn to at the time, in our “Free Session”. It can be more arts, piano, indoor games, reading, outdoor fun, or even some creative world-building in Minecraft Education Edition – it’s up to them!
