It was founded by the four major industrial concerns within the city with the stated aim of making available a high quality international education available to their employees. The school is open to everyone and is non-selective. The school follows the IB PYP and MYP programmes. Students requiring help in English are given one-to-one support to develop their language skills. All students are given individual attention from specialised staff to ensure that they achieve their fullest potential. The school is housed in a very modern building with computer rooms, science room, library, art room, dance, and music room and large outdoor area. All teaching staff have at least Bachelors degrees, several have further degrees. The school is also committed to further education of all teachers and continuously updating their skills. A wide variety of extra curricular activities are offered as well as early morning and afternoon supervision. A non-tuition based holiday club is also offered by the school.
