Al Ameer English School (AAES) is a private, co-educational CBSE school in Al Jurf 2, Ajman, first established in 1991. The school began in a small villa in Rumaila before relocating to its current, purpose-built 10,800 sq m campus behind Ajman City Centre in 2004. AAES follows the Indian Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) curriculum, from KG1 through Grade 12, alongside the UAE Ministry of Education's required Arabic, Islamic Studies, and Social Studies components.
With more than three decades in Ajman and a student body reported at over 3,000, AAES is one of the emirate's longest-established Indian-curriculum schools. The school is affiliated with the CBSE Delhi Board and approved by the UAE Ministry of Education, and reports a 100% pass rate in Board examinations. The school operates as co-educational overall, with separate instructional sections for boys and girls.
AAES suits families specifically seeking an established, community-rooted CBSE education at accessible fees.
AAES sits in Al Jurf 2, close to Sheikh Maktoum Bin Rashid Street and Sheikh Ammar Bin Humaid Street, behind Ajman City Centre. Al Rawda 3 has been cited as the nearest residential community to the school campus.
Al Jurf offers a genuine mix of apartments and villas within easy reach of the school, from mid-rise apartment buildings near Sheikh Maktoum Bin Rashid Street to larger family villas on surrounding streets. Neighbouring Al Rawda adds further villa-led options for families wanting more space, while staying within a short, practical commute of the campus.
