At the time of commencement, the school was housed in a rented building in Manama and the number of the students was 100 with a limited number of teachers.

With the gradual increase in the number of the students, the need was felt for the construction of a school building. It was focused to provide all modern educational facilities such as fully equipped laboratory, a well-stocked library, a large playground, spacious classrooms and an auditorium. At the request of the committee of the school, the Government of Kingdom of Bahrain leased a land in Isa Town for the construction of the School.
