The school was founded in 1996 as the primary school “Rīdze” and was transformed into a primary school in 2002. The school building was built from 1881 to 1884 as the Riga City Girls’ School. In 2001, the school was moved from 28 Grēcinieku Street to the building at 2 Krišjāņa Valdemāra Street.

The building has lifts and an elevator, the lifts are not used on a daily basis (it is not known if they are working), the entrance door is heavy and the handle is too high, both for wheelchair users and for children. It is therefore preferable to go to school with an escort.
