From the inception of Cahaya Bangsa Classical School, the founders have endeavored to create a school that would truly be "a light to the nations" (Isaiah 49:6). Parents in the city of Bandung wanted to take seriously God's commandment to "Raise your children in the training and instruction of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4) by providing an education presented from a Biblical worldview.We desired to take seriously our Biblical mandate of becoming a blessing to the nation (Genesis 12:2-3) and to set up a school that could serve as a model for Indonesia's struggling education system, in that way, truly becoming a "light" to the nation. We believe that parents have the ultimate and major responsibility of training their children, not schools, and therefore we believe our role is to partner with families to help train, instruct, disciple, and encourage their children so that they will become mature adults who love God, who posses a heart oriented toward serving others, and who exemplify above all other virtues, integrity, holiness, and courage to do what is right.
