Malek Fahd Islamic School was opened in October 1989 with one campus in Greenacre. The purchase of the land for the school was secured through a $1 million gift from King Fahd of Saudi Arabia.
The school started with 87 students from Kindergarten to Year 3 but has grown to over 2800 students in 2020 and over 250 staff.
In April 2011 the school established two campuses in Hoxton Park and Beaumont Hills both catering for students in early primary school.
