Description : The school was founded in 1980 and moved to its current location in 2010. Its director has been running the school for almost 36 years. She was one of the last to leave during the last conflict, and one of the first to return. Along with a group of ten other teachers, she reopened school with donations for desks and books, even though the majority of classrooms were destroyed during the fighting and are still littered with unexploded ordnance. The school has stretched its ressources to try and accommodate as many students as possible . It is currently the only school in Ramadi which provides places for internally displaced students from western Anbar as well as Mosul.
