The qadisiyya madrasa is located inside Bab Al-Sahra, just meters from the walls and was erected on the place of the madrasa founded by Salah al-Din al-Ayyubi for the Shafi'i. It continued its work for several centuries, and during the British Mandate period it became a girls ' school called the Mamounia school, which later moved to its new building in the Bab Al-Sahra neighborhood in 1937.

After the Nakba of Palestine in 1951, a new school for girls was established in the same building, named the Qadisiya school, and many girls from the Old City and beyond, from the suburbs of Jerusalem and Jericho, disappeared and no longer exists.

The Qadisiyah school continued to perform its educational mission throughout the Jordanian era as a preparatory school for girls, and was controlled by the Israeli Ministry of knowledge after the 1967 war, and converted it into a boys ' school by the name of Qadisiyah until a year , where the students of the Khalil Sakakini school, which was located until then in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, were transferred to it, and its name was changed to the Khalil Sakakini Preparatory School for girls, and it includes three grades: seventh, eighth and ninth grades.

It is under the supervision of the Israeli Ministry of education and the municipality of occupied West Jerusalem, and we note that the name of the Qadisiya school has disappeared and no longer exists .
