As a member of the Network of International Christian Schools since 1995, BAIS is a private, non-profit school primarily serving the international community of Bandung.

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. The number of students 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 (NICS) took over management of the school in 1995 and the first graduating senior class was in 2001. To cope with increasing numbers BAIS purchased a 3.5-hectare lot in Kota Baru Parahyangan in 2007, a new development on the outskirts of Bandung.
