Located in Latha Township opposite the Yangon General Hospital and next to the University of Medicine 1, Yangon, the all-girls school[4][5] offers classes from Kindergarten to Tenth Standard (or Grade 1 until Grade 11 in the new nomenclature).
The school's colonial era building is a landmark protected by the city.[6]
