Our story
A different kind of school
Who we are
Built by families, for families
Selong Bay School began with families who came to South Lombok for a season and stayed for the community. Today it operates under Yayasan Selong Bay Intercultural Sekolah, a registered non-profit foundation. We are not for profit, we are for the children and the community of South Lombok.
Every fee is reinvested into the school's development: scholarships, community programmes, and training for local teachers and staff.
