Crown Private School (CPS) is a private, co-educational British curriculum school in Al-Humaidiya-2, Ajman, founded in 2015. CPS follows the National Curriculum for England and is affiliated with Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE), serving students from Pre-KG through Grade 12, with senior students in the Sixth Form preparing for GCSE and A-Level qualifications.
Note: Crown Private School is a distinct school from Crown American Private School, a separate American-curriculum school located in Al Jurf 2, Ajman. The two share a similar name but are different institutions, under different ownership, curricula, and campuses; always confirm which school a listing or review refers to.
CPS is led by Principal Dr Kishor Pillai, supported by a senior leadership team including Vice Principal Ms Flavia Castelino and Head of Registration Ms Sahar Kaddoura. The school holds an “Acceptable” rating from its most recent Ministry of Education inspection, and serves a genuinely international community of over 40 nationalities, with around 30% of students bilingual. Teaching staff are predominantly native English speakers experienced in delivering the British curriculum, with a reported teacher-to-student ratio of around 1:15.
CPS suits families specifically seeking a British-curriculum education with Cambridge affiliation in Ajman, particularly those interested in the school's STEM-focused Robotics and Innovation Lab, at a fee level in Ajman's mid-range bracket.
CPS is located in Al-Humaidiya-2, a central Ajman district also home to other established schools. Among nearby schools in this district, Al Rawda is cited as the closest residential community, offering a mix of villas and apartments.
