Campus da Terra is a unique outdoor homeschooling hub, piloting right here on the island of Madeira. Designed for homeschooling/worldschooling families and children of primary school age, it combines the best of both guided academic instruction and child-led exploration. Our approach allows children to shape their own educational journey while benefiting from a supportive community of peers and facilitators.

Through hands-on learning experiences and outdoor activities, we nurture curiosity, creativity, and a deep connection with nature. Our goal is to cultivate critical thinking, collaboration, and a profound sense of care for the planet.

We welcome homeschooling families and provide tutor support through hired teachers for their curriculum, while fostering an environment focused on hands-on experiences, social connection, and child-led discovery.

Our approach is self-directed and community-based, allowing children to learn through play, exploration, and meaningful interactions in multi-age groups. We encourage curiosity, independence, and collaboration, while parents benefit from a supportive network of like-minded families.

For traveling families, we offer flexible participation, making it easy to integrate into our community for short- or long-term stays.

Roots and Wings Village is a community where our children are growing up deeply supported in who they are while being encouraged to discover and become their best selves. In putting social-emotional learning at the forefront, we see our children building empathy and connecting their inner and outer worlds through play, conversation, creative expression, movement, and shared discovery. There is so much magic happening in the small moments here.
We offer a twice weekly drop-off enrichment program for elementary children ages 5 to 11. We meet Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:30am to 3:15pm. Activities typically include yoga, music, movement, meditation, stories, hands-on STEAM projects, nature exploration, hiking, unstructured play, and journaling.

Pelangi School is a private, not-for-profit school founded in 2006 by parents seeking an alternative educational experience for their children in Ubud, Bali. From just a handful of children attending school all those years ago, our school community now includes 200 students representing almost thirty different nationalities.

Pelangi School’s mission is to provide a high quality, holistic education, delivered in English and Bahasa Indonesia, for children from Ubud and surrounding areas.  Through education, we are dedicated to inspiring children to become responsible, self-motivated, creative, environmentally and socially conscientious, well rounded, happy individuals.

Soaring Minds Education is a tribe of families, growing and sharing a dynamic educational experience through field trips, community service projects, and family socials.

We are a small Learning Centre based near Canggu Bali following the British curriculum. We accept children from 2-11 years old. We have a big natural garden for children to learn and grow in.

The whole idea of starting my own homeschool was born from the fact that we needed somewhere for our boys to be educated in Bali. 

Our dream was to create something that was an amazing beautiful and natural environment and offer as good a education as some of the bigger schools in Bali, whilst keeping our fees affordable for all parents. Bamboo Garden was born. A space that we wanted our boys to grow and learn in within a close community of friends and parents. A place where they would experience outdoor play, the change of seasons, and the way nature can impact our lives in so many wonderful ways. 

To be true to this idea, we decided to incorporate the main principles of Reggio Emilia into our school curriculum and culture across the school. The basis for are English and Maths lessons is the Australian curriculum and we incorporate other subjects such as Science, Geography and Art into our child-led projects. Come and see our amazing school today!

Bamboo Garden Learning Centre

During the school holidays, each EIB bilingual school organises its own holiday camp with a variety of fun and learning activities. These holiday camps are open to all children, whether they are enrolled in our EIB schools, or not. They take place during the first week of each school holiday (except for Christmas holidays).
