In 1966, the school moved to its present location in the newly-developed Grace Village, Quezon City, to accommodate an increasing student population while donating the Nagtahan location to Grace Bible Church for the Christian Academy in Manila. Inauguration for the new campus was held on September 10, 1966. Two years after, the school bought more properties inside Grace Village for further expansion.
