[edit] History
Dharumavantha School is a government-owned secondary school exclusively for boys, in the capital island of Maldives. It was founded on 1st of January 2002, when the longest serving school in the country, Majeediyyaa School, was divided into two schools with equal share of resources. There are 1200 boys studying in 8, 9 and 10th grade classes. DS prepares students for University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) which students will take at the end of 10th grade or after studying for three years.
[edit] School name and philosophy
Maldives is a nation rich in heritage and culture. The spirit of recognizing the past and making the people aware of its history is often reflected in the names of different primary and secondary schools in Maldives. No doubt, it has been followed and probably the existing gap has been filled by naming the new school on behalf of a personality who had been instrumental in bringing the blaze of faith of Islam to Maldives. It was during the reign of King Dharumavantha Rasgefaanu that Maldives embraced Islam which is the potent and vibrant force of socio-economic life in Maldives.
[edit] School Motto
The School Motto is well embedded in the three words of Faith, Discipline and Wisdom. They are in fact the three pillars on which the Educational philosophy of Dharumavantha School rests.

The schools have an almost level record in terms of academic statistics, but Dharumavantha have a marginally better performance than that of Majeedhiya School. Dharumavantha was awarded second place for it's academic performance for the year 2007 ahead of Majeedhiya School. Aminiyya School, the government all girls school which is the School's next rival, was controversially shifted to another category which consisted of only Aminiyya School and awarded first place with no competition. In Maldives, the most significant competition among school's are in the various national and inter- school Literary Competitions. Since Dharumavantha was opened, Dharumavantha has won the National Oratory competition 6 times, not winning only once.
