SHOOL IN PARADISE
A non-profit organization focusing on children’s education on the island of Lombok, Indonesia.
WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO
School in Paradise is a non-profit organization dedicated to the education of children and youth on the island of Lombok, Indonesia. We have been operating in Lombok since 2013 when we started a project to build a school in several locations on Lombok. We are currently working extensively with several local entities and are mainly focusing on covering English language teaching in specialized language courses.
We strive to continuously improve the quality of English language teaching, thus enabling children to choose their own future. We are also actively seeking potential local partners interested in collaborating and improving the quality of education. We are also looking for volunteers to come out and teach with us.

Teaching and Living in Lombok: an Experience That Changed My View of The World
Lucas, a traveler from Brazil, spent two weeks volunteering as an English teacher in Lombok. He describes the respect of the local students, the hospitality of Mr. Jumirim's family, and everyday life in the community, where he felt at home. He shares his challenges and joys—from teaching through games, to eating with his right hand, to unforgettable moments with children by the sea. His experience shows that volunteering in Lombok is not just about teaching, but also about discovering a new culture, openness, and genuine connection with people.
Two unforgetable months of my life
As part of the volunteer program, I had the unique opportunity to spend 2 months on the island of Lombok, one of the unforgettable jewels of Indonesia. The heart of this exotic destination beats to the rhythm of rich culture, picturesque beaches and magnificent mountains, giving volunteers like me the opportunity to discover and contribute to this amazing place. It was my first time outside of Europe and it certainly won't be my last. Asia simply captivates you from the first sight.
