## History

The British Embassy in Tripoli established the school in 1968. On 20 February 2011 the school was temporarily closed. On 22 February all of the school's teachers left Libya, in the wake of the 2011 Libyan Civil War. The teaching assistants and cleaning staff remained behind. By March of that year the school announced intentions to provide an online education programme in the meantime.
