It educates roughly 200 students on a 1.2-hectare (3.0-acre) campus just north of the city center. The school offers classes from pre-school to Grade 12. The language of instruction is English. BIS, a non-profit school, opened its doors in 1972 in a converted house in Ciumbuleuit and moved to its current campus in 1993. BIS is governed by its School Board composed of parent volunteers (maximum of two representatives from any single country) whose remit is to develop and oversee the strategic direction of the school.
BIS is recognized as the most diverse international school in Bandung; the teachers and students represent approximately 25 different nationalities. BIS is the only school in Bandung to offer all three of the international Baccalaureate programmes, the PYP in the Primary, the MYP in the Middle School, and the DP in Grades 11 and 12. This makes BIS the only IB Continuum Programme in Bandung.
BIS is accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) based in the Netherlands; the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), based in United States, and authorized by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO).
