The Jakarta Post reports that Bali's provincial government has entered into an agreement with the Putera Sampoerna Foundation that will pave the way for the establishment of an international boarding school on the island.

The Sampoerna Academy in Bali will offer an international standard senior high school education utilizing both a national and international curriculum in a boarding school setting.

Under the terms of the agreement, Bali is providing a 5-hectare parcel of land in Kubutambahan village in Buleleng, north Bali where the Sampoerna Foundation will build a campus. The Foundation says they will establish a center of educational excellence and a generous scholarship program to allow talented Balinese children every opportunity for a world-class education.
