Aminiya School is a primary, secondary school in Malé, the capital of the Maldives. It is the first girls' secondary school in the country and remained the only all-girls school until 14 June 2011.^[2][3]

It was founded in 1944 by Mohamed Amin Didi^[3][4] 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 the Primary, and grade 8, 9 and 10 for the Secondary.^[3] Aminiya school has high honours of prizes and a large number of Aminiya's most successful women came from here as students.^[3] In 2018, the school's insignia was preserved as a historical monument.^[5] The school later changed buildings and is now in the old CHSE building.^[6]
