[citation needed] It was called the Christian Fellowship School, and was in the basement of Haddon Hall in Central Auckland.

In 1981, a new site in Mt Albert was purchased from the Karitane Nursing Trust and the wards modified into classrooms.

[citation needed] The Mt Albert site was put up for sale as the school searched for larger premises, but eventually the decision was made to remain at that location.

In 1990, the Institute in Basic Life Principles purchased the property and leased it back to the school at a low rate.

[citation needed] In 2011 Allan Ross Randall, a former teacher at the school, was jailed for two years for sexual touching of eleven students between 2007 and 2011.

[3] The school officially closed in December 2017 and began operating as Elim Christian College Mt Albert.
