Two founders, Mr Kiyomi Hioki and Mrs Mami Hioki, founded Laurus International School of Science in 2001 as a bilingual school focused on hands-on science and critical thinking.

The school began Lower Secondary in 2022 and has since expanded to additional campuses; in 2024 it joined the Council of International Schools, in 2025 opened Upper Secondary under the Cambridge International Curriculum and opened a campus in Bunkyo, and in 2026 was approved as a Round Square Candidate School.
