The school first opened in the year of 2004. It moved into its current Tokyo facility in April 2007; this building has four stories. At that time it served grade levels kindergarten through 10.[3] As of 2008 the school was expanding in size.[4] Its current campus is a former Japanese elementary school in Koto-ku and a building that had been rented circa 2018[citation needed]
