The school was founded in 1992 at "Sedqa", Independence Avenue, Naxxar by the Parents Foundation of Education (who also founded San Anton School). It consisted of just three classes. In 1995, the school was temporarily moved to a block of flats in Gzira (today's School of English) while L-Imselliet Early School was being built. In the third term of that year, spring 1996, Early School was inaugurated. Middle School followed in 1997, and Senior School in 2000.
