History

The concept of "Sekolah Berasrama Penuh Integrasi" or Integrated Boarding School was first proposed on 2002 by Tan Sri Musa Mohamad, the then Minister of Education. This type of school provides three academic streams for its students; Islamic science, science and technical. On that time, students who wanted to pursue their studies in the Islamic science stream needed to attend religious schools. Since the establishment of this concept, the government had successfully cater a larger number of students to pursue their studies in Islamic science stream.

After 4 years of its establishment, in 2007, the school holds 601 students and 65 teaching staffs.
