WISE Indian Academy (also known as Bhavans WISE Indian Academy) is a private, co-educational CBSE school on Sheikh Maktoum Bin Rashid Street, Al Jurf 2, Ajman. The school was previously known as Al Saad Indian School before being revamped and rebranded under the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan (Bhavan) Educational Trust in 2016, moving into its current purpose-built campus shortly after, under the same trust that runs other respected Indian-curriculum schools in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain.
WISE Indian Academy follows the CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education, New Delhi) curriculum, in line with NCERT guidelines, and has grown from its original KG through Grade 10 offering to a complete KG through Grade 12 pathway, now serving over 1,600 students supported by more than 100 qualified teachers. The school reports a 100% CBSE pass rate. Note that Ajman schools, including WISE Indian 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.
WISE Indian Academy suits families specifically seeking an affordable, full-pathway CBSE education with a genuine STEAM and creative arts focus, backed by the established Bhavan Trust name.
WISE Indian Academy sits in Al Jurf 2, one of Ajman's preferred residential communities, close to several other well-regarded CBSE schools. 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.
