The History of TUNAS BANGSA CHRISTIAN SCHOOL
Tunas Bangsa Christian School is founded under Yayasan Harapan Bangsa, a Christian foundation with a mission to build generations with Christ-like character. As of 2020, Tunas Bangsa Christian School has school campuses in Sunter, Gunung Sahari, Citra, Grand Cakung, Cikarang, Depok, Green Ville and Gading Serpong. Outside of the Greater Jakarta Area, there are also Tunas Bangsa schools which are run independently in Denpasar and Kupang. We are blessed by God to be trusted in building the lives of a large number of young people.
However, the journey to reach this position wasn’t easy. This school started very small, from a vision given by God to bring an impact to generations. By being faithful to the vision, we have seen the hands of God guiding us to where we are today. This is our story.
The birth of Tunas Bangsa Christian School
The conception of the school began with a vision which God has entrusted to Mr. Samiton Pangellah, which was one of the elders of the Abbalove Ministries Church. He has a strong desire to build a school which teaches young people about God and to have Christ-like character. Over time God allowed him to meet some other people with the same burden and ready to build upon the vision.
1992
In July 1992, it resulted in the opening of the first ever Tunas Bangsa Christian School, in Jl. Gunung Sahari XI, Jakarta Pusat. At the time, the school was under the foundation “Yayasan Pelayanan Bersama Indonesia”. There were 36 students whom God trusted to us at the time.
From the beginning, the school has always focused on the application of character education, with a vision for the salvation of the children of this nation. The leaders learned from the Institute of Basic Life Principles about how to apply this in education to develop students with Christ-like character, and Tunas Bangsa Christian School became one of the pioneer of the curriculum development which integrated the Word of God inside of it.
