The Royal Academy (TRAC), Ajman, is a private, co-educational CBSE school in Al Hamidiya 1, Ajman, established in 2012. It's one of the largest educational institutions in the emirate, reportedly serving around 3,000 students from more than 36 nationalities. The Royal Academy is affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), New Delhi, and offers instruction from KG1 through Grade 12.
The school occupies a substantial, roughly 200,000 sq ft, fully air-conditioned campus. Note that Ajman schools, including The Royal Academy, are not rated by Dubai's KHDA (Knowledge and Human Development Authority), which only regulates schools within Dubai. Any “KHDA rating” referenced for this school in third-party listings should be treated with caution, since Ajman has no equivalent independent inspection body.
The Royal Academy's academic structure covers Kindergarten through Grade 5 in its primary years, Grades 6 to 8 in its middle years, Grades 9 to 10 in Secondary School, and Grades 11 to 12 in Senior Secondary School, with the child placed at the centre of the learning process throughout, particularly in the early years.
The Royal Academy suits families specifically seeking an affordable, well-established CBSE education with genuinely broad facilities, including STEAM and Robotics labs, at a fee level significantly below that of many comparable CBSE schools in the UAE.
The Royal Academy sits in Al Hamidiya, a popular residential area in Ajman featuring a mix of spacious villas and low- to mid-rise apartment buildings. Al Rawda 1 has been cited as the nearest residential community to the school, described as family-friendly with flats and villas available for rent and sale at affordable prices.
