Our Mission

Our Vision

BAIS will be a hub where learners bridge cultures and broaden perspectives through authentic and meaningful experiences, discovering their purpose and developing their passions to positively influence their world.

Our Core Values

There are five core principles or core values by which we operate. These core values are the bedrock of our school: our educational approach, our extra curricular activities, our sports programs, and our family events. We are committed to…

…discovering and discerning what is true
At BAIS, we are guided by the conviction that God and His Word, the Bible, are the ultimate source of all truth. We believe that discovering and discerning truth is not only a foundational aspect of education but also an essential part of nurturing the spiritual, intellectual, and personal growth of our students.Through biblical studies, critical thinking, a supportive community, prayer, and integration across disciplines, we equip students to pursue truth with wisdom, discernment, and a firm foundation in the timeless truths found in God’s Word.

…providing high level academics and programs
We believe that high-level academics and programs empower students to reach their full potential and that a challenging and comprehensive education that focuses on authentic and meaningful experiences lays the foundation for lifelong learning, critical thinking, and success in an ever-changing world. Through the expertise of our qualified educators, a thoughtfully designed curriculum, a wide range of enriching programs and after-school activities, technology integration, and a commitment to ongoing assessment and improvement, we create an environment that nurtures academic excellence, intellectual curiosity, and holistic development, preparing students to excel and make a positive impact in the world.

…working as a community to serve others and solve problems 
We believe that by uniting and harnessing our diverse strengths, we can affect meaningful change in the lives of others and forge innovative solutions. In education, collaboration propels learning to new heights as students work together, sharing ideas, perspectives, and insights. Through collaboration, students gain a deeper understanding of subject matter, expand their critical thinking abilities, and develop the essential skills of teamwork and effective communication. In addition, partnerships, support for student leadership initiatives, and opportunities for family engagement in school functions, create a positive and collaborative atmosphere, cultivating a sense of social responsibility and compassion within our students and broader community.

…cultivating a culture of care
We are family. When students and their families join our school, they join the BAIS family. Our international atmosphere is an open door for students of all cultures, religions, races, and nationalities. Through prioritizing well-being, fostering positive relationships, developing empathy for others, believing that our students can, and creating a sense of belonging, we create an environment where every individual feels valued, supported, and connected. This culture of care forms the foundation for a thriving community that nurtures growth, learning, and respect for all.

…guiding learners toward their full potential
We believe that growth means pursuing excellence in whatever we do – whether it is in academics and extracurriculars or in our professional and personal lives. Through setting high standards, cultivating a growth mindset, continuous reflection, celebrating achievements, and nurturing curiosity and passion, we create an environment where personal growth thrives. We empower students to embrace challenges, pursue their dreams, and become lifelong learners equipped with the skills and mindset needed to make a positive impact in an ever-evolving world.

Who we are

For 70 years, Bandung Alliance Intercultural School (BAIS) has been a testimony to God’s faithfulness in Christian education. Established in 1956, BAIS is one of Indonesia’s oldest international schools, equipping students to meet life’s challenges with truth, excellence, and purpose.

We provide a high-quality, Christ-centered education grounded in biblical truth, preparing students academically, socially, and spiritually for the opportunities of the 21st century. Our mission is to nurture hearts and minds in community, helping students discover their God-given potential and develop the passions that will shape their future impact.

A biblical worldview is intentionally woven throughout every area of learning. Through a rigorous, world-class English curriculum led by skilled international educators, students grow in character, wisdom, and faith. Personalized learning ensures each student is known, supported, and challenged to reach their fullest potential.

Our graduates pursue higher education across Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America, carrying with them the foundation formed during their years at BAIS.

As a culturally diverse and caring community, BAIS brings together students and educators from many nations, fostering global awareness, mutual respect, and meaningful relationships. Beyond the classroom, we cultivate a family-like atmosphere through gatherings and events that strengthen partnership and belonging.

For seven decades — and by God’s grace for many more — BAIS remains committed to shaping lives for His glory.
