It opened as Thaajuddeen Primary School, before it was changed in 1990 to its current name.[3] The school was named after the famous Maldivian historian, Hassan Thaajuddeen. The school first started with 19 teachers, 435 students and 29 classrooms, with 2 sessions. The school currently teaches grades 1-10 to 1492 students with 118 teachers and 33 classrooms.[3]
