Al-Amin Islamic Boarding School in Mojokerto grew out of one conviction: that Nahdlatul Ulama needed cadres of quality and broad outlook, of noble character and independent spirit, of service to their faith, their people, and their country. The school was formally founded on 16 July 2000 and has since built its work on three strengths - language, the classical texts, and leadership.

Al-Amin Islamic Senior High School offers upper-secondary education that combines the Ministry of Religious Affairs curriculum with the school’s own, supported by language work, the study of classical texts, and leadership training.

Al-Amin Islamic Junior High School is the first stage of the six-year education at Al-Amin. Students are grounded in the religious sciences, in Arabic and English, and in the daily manners of boarding life.

The Al-Amin Student Council is where students practise leading. It is organised into four boards - senior high boys, senior high girls, junior high boys, and junior high girls - covering worship, language, sport, the arts, and journalism.
