History
The school was founded as an Anglican school in January 1956 by Rev. Canon Paul Chong En Siong, as a primary school with 70 students and 3 teachers.[4] It was the first Anglican school in Brunei. Until 1964 it was based in a church vicarage.[4] That year it moved to its current locations, a site donated by Ong Kim Kee.[4] The Ministry of Religious Affairs has provided all Islamic Religious Knowledge professors with a temporary position since 1971.[2] The school introduced computer studies classes in 1995.[4]
Around 1000 students from Brunei and other countries attended the school in 2009; it offered kindergarten through secondary education. Secondary levels are taught in English, whereas primary levels are taught in Malay.[1] In January 2018, a press release from St Andrew's School formally designated the brand-new parking lot adjacent to the school the Letak Kereta Pengiran Muda Haji 'Abdul 'Azim (Prince Haji 'Abdul 'Azim Car Park), situated on a 1.83 acres (0.74 ha) tract of property owned by Prince Abdul Azim.[5]
