QSI Dushanbe was first established in 2004 at 2 Osipenko Street. The school changed its location in March 2010 since the student population grew to 39 students and the facility no longer provided the necessary space for the development of the school. The school relocated to 85 Sovetskaya Street in 2016. In the summer of 2022, the school relocated to a purpose-built facility at 3 Turakul Zehni Street.[ citation needed ]
