Okay, so let me be real — moving to Ajman was exciting but also stressful, especially when it came to finding a school for my son. Like most Indian parents here, I straight-up started looking for CBSE schools in Ajman. That’s just how we do it, right? Familiar syllabus, same subjects, and it kinda keeps things easy if we ever shift again.
But honestly, it wasn’t as simple as Googling and picking the first one. Everyone’s got opinions. Some said this school’s good, others said no, fees are too much, teachers are strict, blah blah. You know how it is — you get ten different suggestions from ten different people.
Anyway, after going through all that, here’s my take on it.
Why We Wanted a CBSE School
For me and my wife, CBSE just felt… safe? You know what I mean. We grew up with it, so we kinda understand how it works. Plus, most CBSE schools in Ajman offer decent education, activities, and kids still get that Desi vibe. Like, they celebrate Diwali, Independence Day, all that stuff — makes the kids feel they belong.
And not to forget, it’s easier if later we move to Dubai, Sharjah, or even go back to India — CBSE is everywhere.
What I Looked for
I didn’t overcomplicate it. Just wanted:
-
Teachers who actually like kids, not just those strict old-school types.
-
Affordable fees — Ajman’s cheaper than Dubai, but still, gotta budget.
-
Some activities — sports, drawing, music, not just studying 24/7.
-
Safe place — obviously.
Visited a couple of schools, spoke to the staff, asked random parents outside during pickup hours (yep, I do that). That’s when you hear the real stuff, not the polished brochure talk.
The Popular Ones
People kept saying names like:
-
Habitat School Ajman
-
The Royal Academy Ajman
-
East Point Indian International School
We ended up picking one of these. It’s been okay so far. School’s good, my kid’s happy, that’s what matters at the end of the day.
Final Thoughts
Look, don’t overthink. No school’s perfect. But Ajman has good CBSE schools, you just gotta ask around, visit, and see how your kid feels. That’s all I did. Hope this helps someone reading this.
