About Me

Our Story

Gili Bumblebee started as a homeschooling project in September 2013, on the little island of Gili Trawangan, which has been known to many as a paradise island. In the past decade, we've evolved from a small home-school into a standalone school, taking in children from Pre-school ages up till Lower Elementary. In our efforts to reach out to the local community, we have also started Indonesian classes and participate in community projects.

Our Curriculum

Anchor 2
HEI Finnish Curriculum

Our island-based education emphasizes environmental consciousness and

community skills. We integrate reading, writing, and math into play-based activities.

Based on our understanding of what works best for the children living on the Gilis, starting from 1 September 2024, we will be integrating the Montessori Philosophy with the Toolkit Curriculum by HEI Schools, which provides a holistic, play-based Finnish early childhood model with structure, materials, and assessment tools. It fosters academic skills and competencies like creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, problem-solving, and empathy, making learning joyful,
and preparing children for their future ahead.
