Mandalika Intercultural School was originally established as Rinjani Indah School in 2017 by Rod and Jacqueline Chin, who envisioned an international school deeply integrated with the local community in South Lombok. Yayasan Rinjani Indah was subsequently founded, providing the necessary legal framework for the school’s certification and operation.
Enrolment stood at 29 students by July 2018, which increased to over 40 by July 2019. However, due to the impact of COVID-19, enrolment dropped to 33 by July 2020. With the easing of COVID restrictions and the completion of the new purpose-built campus in October 2022, spanning 10,000m2 of land in the heart of Kuta, student numbers swiftly surged to over 75. There is now significant interest from new parents seeking to enrol their children of all ages, both from within and outside Indonesia.
