## History

Charis Global School was established in 2007 for local and expatriate students living in Lippo Cikarang.
The school has grown rapidly after initially opening only a pre-school level that offers the Early Childhood Programs. In 2009, the school started its Primary Program. The school changed its name to Charis Global School from Charis Global International School to comply with the Indonesian government's regulations on prohibiting the use of word "international" in school names.
By 2016, the school had expanded into its Secondary Program.
Today the school has a total staff of about 70, out of which, 55 are teaching staff.
