Global Indian School (formerly Indian School Ajman) is a private Indian K-12 school in Ajman, United Arab Emirates, established in 1988.[3] The school is recognized by the UAE's Ministry of Education and affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education in New Delhi, India.[4]
Indian School Ajman was recognized as one of the best schools in the UAE by EW Global School Rankings, 2019.[5]
The Principal, Malathi Das, was awarded the CBSE's Teacher of the Year award in 2002.[6]
Indian School Ajman was established in 1988 to serve the Indian expatriate community of Ajman.[7] The school presented its first batch of students for the All India Senior School Certificate Examination in 1992.[8] Initially, the school was the only one in its neighborhood; it started off with just 8 faculty members, as enrollments started small and grew slowly. Presently, it has about 150 staff members and a total enrollment of more than 1800 students in classes from kindergarten up to Grade 12.[9]
Initially, the school was housed in a villa in Ajman.[10] In 1991, it moved to a full-fledged building on a land granted by the ruler of Ajman, at the heart of Ajman city. In 2020, the school again moved to a bigger campus, following which it was renamed as 'Global Indian School'.
The school offers education from kindergarten to Grade 12, catering to students in the 4-17 age group. Students prepare for the All India Secondary School Examination and All India Senior School Certificate Examination. The school is renowned for its impressive results and a perpetual 100% pass rate.[11]
As of 2021, there were 1859 students, mostly of Indian origin.
The student body is led by a council composed of student representatives from senior grades.
