Education and preparation for life in Bali and beyond.
Welcome to the Future Human School
An exciting new, progressive, purpose-driven school for 9-16 year olds in the heart of Pejeng, Ubud.

Future Human Project is built on principles taken from decades of careers in education, enterprise and life experience. We have chosen Da Vinci Life-Skills (DVLS) as our curriculum partner for 9-16 year olds, who share our vision and values for young people.
-
The Future Human Project Skills Curriculum is built around five dynamic project-based learning pathways that offer real-world, interdisciplinary, and student-led experiences.
Each pathway blends core academic skills with creativity, problem-solving, and purpose.
Learners explore, plan, create, reflect, and share projects supported by mentors and peer collaboration.

A school is nothing if it doesn’t have community and celebration at its heart.
Friday is ‘Village Day’, when we engage with community, explore real-world challenges, and celebrate culture, nature, and time together. These experiential learning opportunities are for students, mentors, families and stakeholders. From guest speakers and workshops, to trips, celebrations and collaboration.
We are intentionally building an intergenerational community rooted in purpose and place far beyond the classroom walls. Learning happens through field experiences, service, storytelling, and connection.
Just as we’ve chosen to live beyond our home countries, our students grow by embracing a world beyond the conventional, learning through life itself.
Our Approach
As parents, entrepreneurs and educators, we believe the school system is preparing kids for a future that won’t exist. Career paths are already changing, leaving young people unprepared for the evolving world of work. We see life as a project - so training young people in a project-based mindset is key to their future success. Future Human School offers a fun, real-world, skills-based alternative where creativity, collaboration and communication build confidence through value and passion.

Mentors Not Teachers
Our Mentorship Model replaces teachers with mentors. As well as class mentors we have an incredible network of mentors from the worlds of sustainability, enterprise, hospitality, travel, blockchain, permaculture, finance and the arts to mentor and support our young people with real world and tangible experience and advice.
Growth Not Grades
Our assessments are formative, narrative, and student-led. They take the form of digital and written portfolios, mentor check-ins, peer feedback, daily self-evaluations and DVQs (Da Vinci Qualifications).
A Classroom with Connection
Future Human School is located at a biophilic eco-village in the heart of Pejeng, Ubud. Surrounded by jungle, rice fields, and flowing subak waterways, our students engage with real-world learning that follows the rhythms of the land.
Nature is not a backdrop - it’s a teacher, a space for growth, and a vital part of preparing for a more connected, regenerative future.
Here we have the use of bamboo and earth learning environments, set in abundant gardens with 20,000 m² of fields and forest. There is a class swimming pool, yoga shala and pods for breakout learning. The aquaponic gardens, professional kitchen and village restaurant supports creative classes, live events and community experiences.
