In the 1962, Torgbui.  Kwaku Amenyodu I, decided to establish a private school because there were several children who roamed aimlessly in the streets of Kaneshie and Bubiashie. Torgbui Kwaku Amenyodu I, who was then a civil servant at the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation, asked permission form his employers to start a private school in an attempt to rectify the situation. 

When permission was granted, Torgbui established the school under a mango tree at a place called, “Control Market” at Bubiashie.  He had 12 children, and teachers were employed to teach them English and French.  The school was named “DATUS” Preparatory School. 

Earlier in 1959, Torgbui Kwaku Amenyodu I, had acquired land at Bubiashie near the Cable and Wireless Station.  When the original home at the Control Market could no longer accommodate the rapid growing population, the school moved to this acquired plot in 1965.  It was up to primary three only.  In 1966 the Upper Primary Department i.e. Classes 4 to 6 started at Abbosey Okine near the Obetesbi Lamptey Circle.

Work on permanent buildings at Bubiashie started around 1974.  An edifice, a four-storey building, as the Bubiashie branch of the Complex, was officially opened on 2nd August 1975. After the official opening, the last upper primary group, Class 6, finally vacated Abossey Okine.
