== History ==

Founding and locations
The Christian National Paintersschool (Christelijke Nationale Schilderschool) (CNS) opened it's doors in 1955 in 1955 as the result of an initiative of 'The Christian Painters Pattern Bond' (De Christelijke Schilderspatroonbond). This collaboration's goal was to educate students to be good at their trade and to make them good, modern entrepreneurs.

The school moved into a building on the Katwolderweg in Zwolle in 1958 and in 1980 they acquired another building on the Esdoornstraat. The school decided to move all operations to Zwartewateralle 10 in Zwolle in 1995. They are still located here today, even though the address changed because of moving the main entrance to the back of the building. The current address is Nijverheidsstraat 11.

Name change
The school decided to change her name from CNS to CIBAP in 1990. CIBAP is short for 'Christian Institute Protecting Finishing and Presentation Techniques' (Christelijk Instituut Bescherming Afwerking en Presentatietechnieken)

The school changed it's corporate identity and logo in 2009. This also changed the name which was no longer an abbreviation but now a name, namely Cibap.

For the semester 2018-2019, the school changed it's identity to a black and yellow style. They kept the same logo.

Renovation and new contruction
