Bandung International School or SMAN 2 Bandung?
My niece is moving to Bandung this week. She's 15 years old, and she's fluent in Bahasa. I think BIS is better in quality than SMAN 2 Bandung, but I would like your opinions. Thank you very much!
I would recommend BIS since they have international curriculum and teachers, unless she wants to go to local university like ITB, UNPAD and UI or she wants to know more anything about Indonesia, SMAN 2 will be right school.
If she really wants to go to public school in Bandung, I would recommend SMAN 5 or SMAN 3, they have better grades, teachers, students activities, facilities and location, most students of those school will go to ITB, UNPAD or UI.

No, she's finishing her high school in the US, but she's going to spend at least a year and a half here in Indonesia.
It depends of what she expect of experience she's going to have. BIS of course is better in term of facilities and it's much more expensive to get in. At BIS she'd get probably pretty much the same experience like she has gotten in the states. If she wants to get new experience that nothing like in the US, then she should probably go to the public school.
I think BIS is $15k a year, if it's coming out of your pocket.
Why don't you try to ask your niece about her choice? SMAN 2 is good though I like SMAN 3 more. BIS is also good if you can pay for the fee.
