Diliman Preparatory School was founded in 1969 by a group of educators from the University of the Philippines- Diliman who possessed not only an ardent passion for education and teaching but also a genuine love for children.

Prof. Alicia M. L. Coseteng, a retired Associate Professor, was founding President and Chairman of the Board. Mrs. Felisa C. Generoso, also from UP, though a retired UP Elementary principal, was the first grade school principal, while Dr. Irma R. Apelo was the first school physician as well as treasurer of the corporation which ran the school. They shared the same vision of initially putting up a school that would provide a sound basic education in the elementary level.

In July 1969, the Grade School department first opened the doors of its one-story building housing 10 classrooms offering classes in Nursery, Kindergarten and Grade 1-5 levels.

From its humble beginnings, the school now has two four-story buildings housing 2,500 students. The curriculum was strengthened by its Five-Year Development Program in line with the Basic Education Curriculum (BEC) of the Department of Education.
