History
editIt was founded in 1944 by Mohamed Amin Didi[4][5] 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.[4] Aminiya school has high honours of prizes and a large number of Aminiya's most successful women came from here as students.[4] In 2018, the school's insignia was preserved as a historical monument.[6] The school later changed buildings and is now in the old CHSE building.[7]
