Botataung [5] is a mixed (unisex) school providing a sociable and open school-life. It is located in Botataung Township, the eastern side of Yangon. To be exact, it is at the junction of 45th Street (Upper) and Anawrahta Road. It is also surrounded by various food shops, Paragu Hospital, Police Station and City Mart Shopping Center. The transportation is also very convenient because of the two bus-stops one at 46th Street and another one on Thein Phyu Road, a block far from school.
