The school was founded by a team of five members who form the Board of Management. They are Nurul Islam, Abdullah, Ranadev Dasgupta and Morshedul Islam. The five members serve as principals in the five units of ESS.

The school operates under the banner of a limited company, European Scholastic Systems (ESS) Ltd, and each member of the Board of Management serves as a Director in the company.[1]
