The school hosts university visits, college fairs, and offers resources like the Unifrog platform to aid students in preparing for university applications. BIS is also an official testing centre for Standardised Admission Tests (PSAT, SAT and ACT).

Bali Island School offers guidance to students on: online application platforms, assistance with writing personal statements, recommendation letters, and CVs, interview preparation, as well as providing predicted grades and transcripts.

There are three main events in the College Admissions Programme:

BIS College Admissions Programme Overview

University Placement

90% of our graduates earn places at their ‘first choice’ university or college. Our International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma results regularly exceed the world average. These results are particularly remarkable given that BIS is not a ‘selective enrolment’ school; we welcome a diverse range of learners.
 
As the first school in Bali to offer all three IB programmes (since 1999), we draw on extensive experience to provide excellent preparation for university and the world beyond.
 

BIS features a comprehensive college counselling programme. We support students and parents in the Middle Years and Diploma Programmes to make informed decisions about life beyond school and identify the best-fit universities for their needs. Our teachers are committed to providing a high-quality education across the Primary Years, Middle Years, and Diploma Programmes, encouraging every student individually to support their strengths and target areas for growth.

Total value of scholarships awarded for the Classes of 2023 – 2026 : $1,178.662.019 USD

Our graduation results exceed regularly the world average and 100% of our graduates got accepted at university and 90% at their favourite one.  We are constantly improving our teaching styles to offer the best possible education to our students. With our experience, we offer excellent preparation for university. Beside the curriculum, students are supported by our counselor, who helps them to choose the right courses and prepare university and other applications. Our teachers encourage every student individually to best support their strengths and overcome their weaknesses. Our Diploma results are especially remarkable as we are accepting all students into the Diploma, not only the strongest ones.

“Having been educated from Preschool through Graduation at BIS was a privileging experience. The guidance of professional and caring teachers through the entire International Baccalaureate curriculum (PYP,MYP,IB) undoubtedly develops individuals into confident, well rounded global citizens. The BIS community is open minded, hard working, close knit and provides students with a platform to progress beyond their potential. I am currently a 2nd gap year individual, working as a professional singer / songwriter as well as a Communications and Social Media Manager. I’m planning to study Music Business at a university in England. The gratitude I have for BIS is endless, and I thank them for providing me with a second home and am proud to be a Dragon!”
