Founded in 1946 and relocated to its current Watthana District campus in 1957, it sits on Sukhumvit 63 (Ekkamai) near the BTS Ekkamai station and the Eastern Bus Terminal, a well‑connected urban neighbourhood with cafés, shopping and transit links.

With accreditation by WASC and AAA, the school combines religious studies, a weekly chapel, and a supportive community grounded in spiritual values.
