In 1951, the Ministry of Education (Thailand) built a school in Bangkok (previously called: พระนคร) named Rang Nam School (โรงเรียนรางน้ำ). On 20 December 1951, the Ministry of Education renamed it Sriayudhya School (โรงเรียนศรีอยุธยา). Then on 1 July 1953, the Department of General Education moved the male students who have no school in, but the place was too crowded. The ministry of Education then established a new school and the construction started on 16 April 1954 and the male students moved here on 15 April 1955. The official name was given: Samsenwittayalai School (โรงเรียนสามเสนวิทยาลัย).

The students, parents and teachers than had a decision to hold an event to honour the school on 15 April, but it is inconvenient because it is during the summer break. In 1983, the first ever "Samsenwittayalai Day" event was hold on 28 January, which is the establishment day of Samsen Alumni Association, and it is repeated every year since then. The activity is offering alms to 99 monks by all the students and teachers and giving awards to the teachers who have made a remarkable progress.

In 1962, Mattayom 7 was started and the school is excellent in sports, especially football. The words have spread and there are fans of the school's football team since then.

In 1967, the school changed from all-boy to co-education.

In 1995, the school has a new branch named Ratchananthachan Samsenwittayalai 2 School.

In 2004, the school established "Math-Science Enrichment Program (MSEP)" and "English Program (EP) in the following year.

In 2011, the school established "English Integrated Studies" and "Enrichment Science Classroom (ESC)" in the next 2 years.
