History

Seoul Arts High School was founded on March 21, 1953 as Ewha Arts High School by the Yooha School Foundation. The name was changed later that year to reflect the school's coeducational status. Originally a government-aided school, it was granted autonomous status, effective from the 2003–04 academic year.
The school held a special exhibition in 2013 to celebrate its 50th anniversary.
The incumbent principal, Geum Nan-se, was appointed in 2014 and is the school's 8th principal.
