The school was declared open by Mr. Lim Yew Hock, Chief Minister, on 1 March 1959. Located in the premises were: a day school, a boarding school, chapel and residence for missionaries. Pupils attend classes in the morning, and in the afternoon, it was home to Oldham Methodist School (later Anglo-Chinese Secondary School) and Oldham Methodist Boys' Afternoon School.
