[4] In 2008, a group of parents joined to discuss the possibility of setting up an alternative school for their children.
Each of these children had faced their own challenges during primary school and their parents felt that they would benefit from a "smaller, more intimate and less pressurised" learning environment.
[5] Initially, the school started off in a house on Harry Pichanick Road, New Alexandra Park, transforming bedrooms and living rooms into classrooms, a staff room and an administration office.
At first, the policy was to keep its class size at ten pupils maximum but due to demand determined by entrance examinations for Form One, the school increased its class size to twelve pupils.
[7] Many of the students are also involved in additional sports, such as motor-cross, rowing, horse riding, and triathlon.
