It was the first school established by K. S. Varkey and his wife, Mariama Varkey.[citation needed] The school is now managed by GEMS Education founded by their son, Sunny Varkey.[citation needed]
The first campus opened in Bastakia and moved to Oud Metha in 1983. The School moved once again to its current location Al Warqa'a. Initially the girls and boys attended the same campus during different times of day; the girls were in the morning and the boys were in the afternoon. When the male students moved to a new campus in Al Warqa’a in 2007, the girls and boys school split into separate campuses. The girls school moved to Al Warqa in 2012.
