The school was founded in 1884 by the Dominican fathers of the Church of Saint Vincent Ferrer to meet the growing immigrant population. It was originally a co-educational elementary school, with the high school being added in 1909. The present school building was erected in 1954, the same year it became an all-girls college-preparatory high school. The grammar school closed in 1985, and twelve years later the Advisory Board was created. The school was accredited by Middle States Association in 2002, two years after the Scholars Program was inaugurated.
