The school was started in October 1973 by Lawrence John Teye. John Teye used to be a teacher at the Accra Girls Senior High School in the 1960s. He started the John Teye Maths and Piano Club at his residence at Kotobabi, a suburb of Accra. It was originally run as an after school club. It became so popular that many other subjects were taught in addition to Music and Piano. The continuing growth and demand for tuition at the club led John Teye to set up the school.
