The school started as a mixed day school targeting the majority poor children in the surrounding who had minimal chances ofaccessing quality secondary education elsewhere. It remained a day school till 2004, when the board of governors then, agreed to establish a boarding section with intention of helping the school acquire financial self-sustainance.
