Since its founding in 1924 until 1985, Amani High School was recognized as one of the elite schools in Kabul and received direct support from Germany, which helped to provide qualified staff.

After the US invasion in late 2001, the buildings was looted and partially destroyed.

There are modern laboratories for the science departments: Biology, Chemistry and Physics.

The classrooms are furnished with tables and chairs, which is not taken for granted in Afghan schools, even in the capital Kabul.

A ceremony to celebrate Afghanistan's return to education was held at the school, attended by interim Afghan leader Hamid Karzai.
