It was the first school established by K. S. Varkey and his wife, Mariama Varkey. The school is now managed by GEMS Education founded by their son, Sunny Varkey. Branches of this school were later opened in all major cities of United Arab Emirates.

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 shifts. The girls were in the morning shift and boys in the afternoon shift. After the move to Al Warqa’a in 2007 the Girls and Boys school split to their individual campuses. The girls school moved to Al Warqa in 2012.
