It was founded in 1886 in the Mutasarrifate of Jerusalem, Ottoman Empire as Schmidt's Girls' School. At the time it was a Catholic institution. It later became known as Schmidt's College. The school's area became a part of the British Mandate of Palestine before becoming a part of Jordanian-annexed (1948) and later Israel-controlled (1967) East Jerusalem.
