East Point Indian International School (EPIIS) is a private, co-educational CBSE school in Al Hamidiya 1, Ajman, founded in 1997 by Dr. Venkatapathy. EPIIS is part of the East Point Group of Institutes (EPGI), managed by MG Charitable Trust, with a sister campus, East Point Academy, in India. The school follows the CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi) curriculum from KG1 through Grade 12, and has grown to serve over 2,000 students since opening nearly three decades ago.
EPIIS operates under the guiding vision “Arise & Shine” and mission “Education + Humanity,” with a genuinely inclusive, multicultural approach that also emphasises understanding of Emirati values and culture. As with all Ajman private schools, EPIIS operates under the UAE Ministry of Education rather than an emirate-level inspection body such as Dubai's KHDA or Sharjah's SPEA, so no independent government quality rating is publicly available. Community reputation and nearly 30 years of continuous operation are among the strongest indicators of trust for prospective families.
EPIIS suits families specifically seeking an affordable, well-established CBSE education. The school is consistently positioned at the budget end of Ajman's private school market, offering a comparable Indian curriculum framework at a lower fee point than several peer schools.
EPIIS is located in Al Hamidiya 1, a residential community on the eastern outskirts of Ajman. Al Raqaib has been cited as the nearest residential community to the school, offering practical, everyday convenience for families with children enrolled at EPIIS.
