In 1970 the name of the school was changed from Hameediya to Naasiriyya Montessori school, With the completion of the extension to the original building, the school had 18 classes with about 588 students by 1978.

Mrs. M. Vanculumburge was the first Principal. She continued her service till 1974. We remain indebted to her for her love and dedication to the school and thank her for her service.

During this period, the name of the school changed to its present name Iskandhar School, corresponding to the name of Sultan Ibrahim Iskandhar Siri Kularanmeeba Mahaa Radhun.
