Established on 18 September 1980, the school has graduated over 3,794 junior airmen as of August 2022.

[1] The school is effectively a military institution (part of the Nigerian Air Force) that provides both normal secondary school education and military training to Nigerian boys aged around 11 to 17 years.

Junior Airmen (JAM) receive field and weapons training, and are also schooled in map reading and interpretation, field craft, drill, point to point compass march, route march, sports, obstacle crossing, abseiling, assembling and stripping of rifles, mock war, shooting range and bush camping amongst other military and academic activities.

Records available to the school show that most of the ex-Junior Airmen are presently serving the nation, not only as military personnel but as productive workers in the various facets of the public and private sectors.
