History

Established by Father Joaquim Guerra S.J.M it opened at 5 R. das Estalagens () in 1954. It was a member of the Macau Catholic Schools Association.

As of June 2016 the projected enrollment of the 2016–2017 school year was about 60 students. At that time the Diocese of Macau announced that the school would close in 2017 due to low enrollment. Jornal Tribuna de Macau reported that the closure on 1 September 2017 came after a controversy over the school's unapproved use of the Montessori method of teaching.
