The school has been housed in the renovated premises of an abandoned central hospital of the tea gardens. This work started on 1 February 2003. Existing buildings were turned into classrooms, a laboratory, a library and administrative offices. In addition two dormitory blocks which can house 100 students were also built. The number of students in each class varies from 15 to 20. The first batch of SSC students from the school sat for their exams in 2007. To start with the school took only boys from the primary schools of the 15 gardens belonging to Duncan Brothers Ltd, Bangladesh. They are taken in at Class 6 and stay at the school till they appear for their SSC exams. Eight such batches have passed out of the school to date (July 2014).
The school has started taking girls since 2010 and the first girl sat for the SSC exams in 2013. She secured a grade point of 4.88 and also got selected for a Dutch Bangla Bank scholarship. She is now studying in a college in Maulvibazaar and along with 25 other HSC candidates like her, she is helped by the Abu Subhan Welfare Trust which runs the school as one of its charitable projects aided with funds from the Camellia Foundation, UK (CDF). In February 2014, 6 girls and 6 boys have sat for their SSC examinations.
