Prior to the school's establishment, there was an increased number of Japanese families with children in Cambodia that occurred after the growth of Japanese business operations. In 2013 the Japanese Business Association of Cambodia established a committee for making a day school. It was established in 2015, with 14 teachers and 21 students upon opening. It is the first full Japanese day school in Cambodia.
