In 1977 Manarat Jeddah International School was founded by Prince Mohammad bin Faisal in order to serve the growing expat community in Jeddah, KSA. Since then, Manarat schools expanded to have several branches across the Kingdom.

In 2004, Maarif for Education and Training acquired the school and expanded it further, helping to unify the practices of all branches. [2]
