Ahmadhiyya International School

Have you ever heard a story about a school that started from humble beginnings and became a beacon of education? Stand right here in front of the Ahmadhiyya International School and let me tell you a tale of resilience, growth, and the power of community. Ahmadhiyya International School, nestled in the heart of Male’, was born out of a desire to provide quality education to the children of Machangoalhi, one of the oldest wards of the Maldivian capital. It began in 1982 with just eight classrooms, an administration office, and a dream. The school was the brainchild of Dr. Ahmed Didi, a visionary leader who saw the need for a school that would cater to the needs of the local community. The first principal was Mr Abdul Rasheed Ali. He, and those who came after him, guided Ahmadhiyya through its early years. The school struggled with limited space. Yet, it flourished with students eager to learn and dedicated teachers eager to teach. In 2014, the school went through a rebranding and became Ahmadhiyya International School, a reflection of its wider reach and its commitment to global education. Today, the Ahmadhiyya International School stands tall as a testament to the enduring spirit of education in Male’. It is a vibrant hub of learning, with a diverse student body and a commitment to providing quality education for all. It has expanded to include a four-story building and two five-story buildings. The school has become known for its stellar academic achievement and its rich extracurricular activities, encouraging students to explore their potential beyond the classroom. Step inside and you’ll feel the pulse of young minds eager to learn and grow. You’ll hear the joyous laughter of children engaged in play and the focused hum of students immersed in their studies. You’ll be captivated by the energy and the spirit of a school that has come a long way, yet never forgotten its roots.
