Aminiya School is a primary and secondary school in Malé, the capital of the Maldives. It was the first girls' secondary school in the country and remained the only all-girls school until 14 June 2011.

History

It was founded in 1944 by Mohamed Amin Didi to accommodate female students from Majeediyya School (then known as "Madhrasathul Saniyya") which became an all-boy institution. The school is divided into four houses, namely Aminarani, Dhainkanba, Raadhafathi and Rehendhi.

Till 2011, the school remained as a secondary school for only girls. In 2011 the school established Primary, Grade 1 making it both a primary and secondary school. Now there are grades 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 for primary, and grades 8, 9 and 10 for secondary. Aminiya school has high honours of prizes and a large number of Aminiya's most successful women came from here as students. In 2018, the school's insignia was preserved as a historical monument.
