In 1998 the Hartley Road Primary School was opened when two state-aided islamic schools namely Anjuman Primary School closed and Orient Islamic School privatized.
There has been phenomenal changes in the quality of education, infrastructure and parent and community networks. Today, the school can be hailed as one of the best schools in the Durban Central Circuit. Meanwhile, the little houses in Hopelands Road have gradually been taken over by Parklands Hospital and the Medical Centre.
