History

It opened on 15 February 1998[5] with a hall and 10 class rooms, a library, school office and a supervisor room. Starting with fewer than 200 students, it is now one of the most recognized and established schools in the Maldives.

By 2004, it offered O Levels through Cambridge International Examinations and A Levels through Edexcel.[6]

In July 2022, the Ministry of Education hired a contractor to build more classrooms in Jalaluddin.[7] In October 2022, Dhiraagu provided computer systems, furniture, gym exercise balls, books and puzzles and other resources to the school's Special Education Unit.[8][9]

In 2023, on the occasion of Jalaluddin's Silver jubilee, Jalaluddin's Leading teacher Mohammad Hussain wrote a book about historical information aout the school, former principals and staff members, school achievements, best all-rounder students, photographs of the school and more.[10]
