History
The school was founded on 23 August 1980, and began operations with class I to class V. In 1990, it moved to a new building in Abu Dhabi on land donated by Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. A college section was added in 1991.[2]
The school was one of four to win a Zayed Future Energy Prize in the Global High School category in 2013.[3][4] They won for their plans to reduce the school's energy consumption by 40 percent, a proposal driven by the school's eco club.[1] Energy-efficient lighting installed in 2012 reduced energy use by 15 percent.[3][5] The school used the $100,000 award to install solar panels on its auditorium roof that produce a further 15 percent of their energy needs,[1] and to partner with the University of Leeds on the design and construction of wind towers to passively cool school buildings.[6]
