[4][5] The school is located just to the northwest of the Solomon Islands College of Higher Education.

The school was founded in the mid-1950s with about a dozen students at the site of the NPF Building in Point Cruz.

[1] It was expanded under the Solomon Islands National Development Plan, in the 1970s, to introduce a "primary educational system offering a curriculum meeting international standards".

Since 2007, the management has started an ambitious programme of enhancing the building and other infrastructure facilities of the school to seek recognition as an "IB World School," and has been partially successful with redevelopment of the hall as a gymnasium and also building of a music rooms and improved cafeteria facilities.
