The first Anglo Chinese School (simply known as ACS) was built in Klang. It was built in the year 1893, which made it one of the oldest schools in Klang(and Selangor).
Formerly, the primary and secondary school was conjoined. As many students occupied this school later, they had to build separate blocks. Both the schools are now separated by a canteen.
