Meta Description

School History
Maha Bodhi School was founded in 1946 by Reverend Chee Hong of Leng Feng Bodhi Institute, based on Buddhist education to Miss Pitt Chin Hui and other Buddhist devotees. On January 12, 1948, Maha Bodhi opened its doors to 40 students at its original shophouse at No. 743 Geylang Road. The school board entrusted the school’s sponsorship to the Singapore Buddhist Federation in 1950 to continue development. To gather finances for the school’s development, Mr. Lee Choon Seng, Chairman of the Singapore Buddhist Federation, organized a school building committee.
It is temporarily relocated to the old Macpherson Secondary School campus while undergoing PRIME. In mid-2009, the school returned to its former Ubi location.
