The school was established in the year 1360 Hijri by order of King Abdulaziz Al Saud who wanted to develop the Al-Ahsa and Hofuf region as the development of communities starts from education, so King Abdulaziz did not stop at this, but he also ordered the development and modernization of the school again only 4 years after the its establishment. 

The school started operating in 1356 Hijri and was officially recognized by the ministry after King Abdul Aziz personally visited it.

One of the most important goals of the school was to help students to increase their awareness and expand their intellectual perceptions, and this by teaching a lot of diverse subjects, business science, religion, and mathematics, as they were taught by specialists and experts in each subject separately
