Addu High School is a high school located in Addu City, Maldives.
General information
Addu High School, formerly known as Islamiyya School, is one of the schools in Addu City. The school has more than a decade of experience in providing education. The inauguration of AHS, on 28 January 1988, with the aim of producing students qualified enough to enter universities abroad, had a modest start with only a handful of students and few teachers. Currently, there are over 500 students and 30 teachers. Although Addu High School, under the name of Islamiyya School, started as a pre–school to secondary level institute, the school has now been targeted solely for catering to advanced level students, due to the urgent need for a higher secondary school in Addu City.[1]
