Methodist Boys' School (MBS) was founded by Rev. Dr. William T. Kensett, a naval officer of the Royal Navy battleship HMS Orion. In July 1897 he decided to set up a church and school for the Tamils in Kuala Lumpur, and he left the British Navy. A shophouse was secured at the corner of Batu Road and Java Street, and the predominantly Tamil school was named the Anglo-Tamil School. In 1904, the school moved to its current premises on Petaling Hill and was renamed the Methodist Boys' School Kuala Lumpur by Rev. William E. Horley, the name used until today.

Students of MBS come from all walks of life, be it rich or poor, dark or fair skinned. Unlike the nickname "Johannian" for St. John's Institution students and "Victorian" for Victoria Institution students, there has been no officially recognized nickname for MBS students, although recently the loosely used term "MBSian" (pronounced as "Ambition" by some) has surfaced. The school has a history that spans more than 100 years. In the walls of the hall are photographs of important figures from the school's past while its architecture displays the rich heritage of bygone times. As someone once said, if the walls could talk, imagine the stories they would tell. Today, MBS still maintains many aspects of the ethos of a missionary school. Over the years, it has been known as a premier missionary school noted for its strength in student character development and academic achievement.
