The school was established on May 31, 1983 in Tanjung Agas, Muar, Johor, on a 42-acre land. 204 first-former students were the first to register on that day. In the following month, a second group comprising of 421 students under the sponsorship of Malaysian Department of Civil Service registered at the school to undergo TOEFL preparation course for overseas universities.

A third group of students consisting of 175 fourth-former students registered on September 1 1983. From 1988 onwards, the school only accepts fourth formers and no longer accepts first formers.

On June 30, 1991, this school has received upper and lower sixth formers. The practice later stopped in 1994. In 1992, the school achieved a 100% grade one result in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (Malaysia Certificate of Education). From 1995 until May 2000, the school has been chosen to provide a matriculation programme for Universiti Malaysia Sabah. Since then, the school has only Fourth Former and Fifth Former.
