Habitat School, Al Jurf is a private, co-educational CBSE school in Al Jurf 2, Ajman, founded in 2014. The school is run by the Habitat Group of Schools, owned by H.H. Sheikh Sultan Bin Saqer Al Nuaimi, and managed by Habitat School Trust. Habitat School is affiliated with the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), New Delhi, and the UAE Ministry of Education, teaching the Indian curriculum from KG1 through Grade 12.
The school has built a genuinely distinctive profile within Ajman's CBSE market, with an early focus on coding education from Grade 1, the integration of farming and gardening into the curriculum, and a campus philosophy centred on natural, social, and technological environments. Habitat School holds two verified Guinness World Records (for the highest number of plants planted and the most websites created) and received the Sharjah Sustainability Award in the “Green School” category. Classes are co-educational through Grade 4, with boys and girls taught separately from Grade 5 onwards.
Habitat School suits families specifically seeking an affordable, technology-forward CBSE education with a genuine focus on sustainability and hands-on learning, particularly South Asian expatriate families in Ajman.
Habitat School sits in Al Jurf 2, a well-connected, family-friendly district close to several popular residential communities. Al Rawda 3, a sub-community of Al Rawda near the Tajeel Centre Ajman landmark, has been cited as the nearest residential area to the school. Al Jurf 2 is not a designated freehold zone; residential ownership is reserved for UAE and GCC nationals, though expats can rent apartments and villas freely, and can purchase commercial plots in the area.
