Mountainview International Christian School (MICS) was developed through the efforts of missionaries in the 1970s to meet their children’s educational needs. The international school was established in the 1980s, land purchased, buildings constructed over the years toward today’s 13.5-acre campus. Missionary families and business leaders from many nations send their children to MICS for an excellent education. MICS “partners with parents, sending agencies, the Christian community and the Church to train up and educate children in a Christ-centered environment at an affordable cost.”

The MICS curriculum is American with a Christian emphasis, grades 1-12. All students are expected to participate in Christian training, and the Bible is one of the textbooks every student uses as part of the program. In addition to the regular academic subjects and the religious training, music, art, home economics, computers, industrial arts, and physical education are offered. Indonesian language and geography are also taught regularly. Mountainview offers boarding to students who live too far way from the school to commute daily.

The teachers at Mountainview also minister directly to the students from both business and mission families of many nationalities, discipling Christian students and reaching out to those from non-Christian backgrounds, many of whom come to know Jesus. Hundreds of families are benefited by the school’s presence. God is using the school to bless the students as they are prepared to face the changes ahead of them and to impact their world for Christ.
