The school was established in 1967 and is managed by the Apostolic Vicariate of the Roman Catholic Church to Arabia.[2] After its establishment, the school was managed by Giovanni Bernardo Gremoli, afterward succeeded by Paul Hinder. The school, always associated with the Roman Catholic Church, was located initially in the church building on the Abu Dhabi Corniche. Following the decision of the local government that the site is altered, the present foundation was laid for church and school buildings on 19 March 1981, and dedicated to St Joseph, the foster father of Jesus Christ, whose feast-day is celebrated on the same day.
