History

In 1956 the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) started the Bandung Alliance International School (BAIS) in the Ciumblueit area of Bandung. It was designed to serve up to 80 students, grades 1 - 6, in a 2-story classroom building. As the years passed, the number of students gradually increased and the school added a third floor to the classroom building. The extra space added room for secondary classes, increased space in the office building, and added a sports field. The Network of International Christian Schools
