The International School of Choueifat, Ajman (ISC-Ajman) is a private, co-educational, English-medium day school in Al Tallah 2, South Sector, Ajman, opened in September 2016. ISC-Ajman is a member of the global SABIS Network and follows the SABIS Educational System, a curriculum framework refined over more than a century across SABIS's international network of schools. The school sits on a purpose-built campus of roughly 70,000 sq m, about 2 km from Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311).
ISC-Ajman offers a trilingual education from Pre-KG through Grade 12, teaching English, Arabic, and a choice of French or Mandarin as a third language. The curriculum draws on the best of American, British, and Emirati educational systems, preparing students for American (AP, SAT), British (IGCSE, AS/A Level), and UAE national examinations. The school reports having sent graduates to universities including Oxford, MIT, Princeton, Cambridge, Stanford, and Harvard.
ISC-Ajman is described as fully accredited by the UAE government and international accreditation agencies. Note that Ajman schools, including ISC-Ajman, are not rated by Dubai's KHDA (Knowledge and Human Development Authority). KHDA only regulates schools within Dubai, so any “KHDA rating” referenced for this school in third-party listings should be treated with caution.
ISC-Ajman suits families specifically seeking a rigorous, internationally benchmarked, college-preparatory education with genuine language diversity, at a premium fee level reflecting its position among Ajman's higher-end schools.
ISC-Ajman sits in Al Tallah 2, part of the wider Al Mowaihat area, one of Ajman's established freehold villa corridors, also home to several other well-regarded schools. Al Mowaihat (Al Muwaihat) is cited as the closest residential community to the school, divided into three sub-communities that offer a range of villas and apartments for rent and sale.
