The school opened in 1999. Islamic fundamentalists criticized the school's coeducational classes and had attacked the school including bombing, looting and kidnapping.[1] In 2009, the school held a summer camp and planned to hold autumn classes even though the campus had been bombed by Israeli Defense Forces during the First Gaza War.[2] According to the IDF, the school was used by militants to launch rocket attacks but the school officials and local residents denied this.[1]
