1956

In 1962, 300 students moved into a new campus on King's Road. The facility was the pride and joy of those directly connected with it and of the numerous American business firms and other organizations that provided part of the funding. Citibank provided the King's Road land to the school at 15% of its value, and AIA offered a low-interest loan. American companies donated everything from drinking fountains and movie projectors to library books and fuel for the bulldozers. In all, 37 parents and 42 companies raised $150,000.
