The secondary school was opened in 1992, owing to a need to establish more quality secondary schools following the British curriculum in Dubai. The opening of the primary school was in 2004, widely noted in Dubai for its striking use of a mixture of colours on the building facade.
The current premises in Jumeirah 3 is purpose built, and houses swimming facilities, a gym, auditorium, libraries, football field, basketball courts, canteen, and a sixth form common room.
Facilities for primary and secondary school are separated.
The latest report by the independent Dubai Schools Inspection Bureau awarded the school that second-highest status of 'Good'. For reference, rival Dubai College achieved the same rating.

“... that there is no other way,
That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
