The 8th of January 1949 is a red-letter day in the history of Kin’bidhoo. For, it was on this very day that Kin’bidhoo school came into existence. The long-cherished dream of Kin’bidhoo islanders for a school came into reality with the foundation of the school. The people of Kin’bidhoo understood the value of education and looked at it as a means for achieving the development of their island and nation.

Late Mr. Mohamed Ibrahim, Ginamaage, the island chief at that time, is the school's founder. He served the school as its Head (Naaziru) for 3 years 5 months and 27 days. Kin’bidhoo Madharusa (the school’s first name) had a humble beginning with 3 staff and 40 students. The school, in the beginning, had only 4 grades and the medium of instruction was Dhivehi. The subjects taught in the school included Islam, Quran, Dhivehi, Mathematics, Handwriting (Dhivehi Arabic), and Akhlaagu (General behavior Good manners). In the beginning, the classes were conducted in Haruge which got later shifted to the present Preschool.

Late Mr. Abdulla Rasheed, Lileege, became the Head of the school in 1952. He rendered his valuable service to the school as its Head for a period of 44 years 10 months and 5 days. During his time, the school got shifted to its present location, but with only a single block of 5 classrooms and an office. The medium of instruction of the school became English from the academic year 1999. However, the school remained a community school until the year 1999. The name of the school changed many a time before it got its present name. The school’s first name was Kin’bidhoo Madharusa, which later became Makthabbusihabu. Then, the school came to be called Makthabul Ijthihaadh. Thereafter, it got the name Kin’bidhoo Makthaab. At present, its name is Kin’bidhoo school.

Kin’bidhoo school, which is considered one of the earliest schools in the Maldives, became a government school in the year 2000. Mr. Ibrahim Latheef was the Head of the school, then. The students of Kin’bidhoo school (Grade 10 batch of the year) sat for O’ level examination for the first time in the academic year 2002 and produced remarkable results.

The chart showing APS analysis of the school over the past 6 years in O’ level examination, gives the reader a realistic picture of the quality of education provided in the school. Master Ahmed Nasir, a former student, won name and fame for the school when he became one of the top ten students in the Maldives in the GCE O’ level examination conducted in the academic year 2006. The school can proudly claim that Dr. Mohamed Latheef, the former Education Minister of the Maldives, is a past pupil of the school.

The school, at present, has 50 staff and 250 students. Mr. Ahmed Abdulla is the Head of the school. The school building, at present, consists of 3 blocks with 10 classrooms, a staff room, an office, a library, and a computer lab. There is also a beautiful garden and playground in the school compound. It is to be acknowledged that the success of the school is mainly dependent on the collective efforts of the staff, students, parents, and the local community. The school has received whole-hearted cooperation from everyone concerned, right from its beginning till today. Let us continue to work together so that our school may achieve greater glory in the years to come.
