City School (also referred to as City Private School) is a private, co-educational CBSE school on Sheikh Ammar bin Humaid Road, Al Tallah 2, Ajman, established by R Education and Academic Development (READ) around 2017. City School is a sister institution to City American School and City University College of Ajman (CUCA, established in 2012), all of which are operated under the same READ group.
The school follows the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), New Delhi, curriculum alongside UAE Ministry of Education requirements, from KG1 through Grade 12. City School is reported to be the largest CBSE-curriculum school in Ajman, with over 2,300 students taught by around 218 teaching staff and 43 teaching assistants. Class sizes are reported at a ratio of roughly 2:25 in Kindergarten and 1:30 in other grades.
City School suits families specifically seeking an established, large-scale CBSE education in the Al Tallah 2 area, at a fee level generally more accessible than that of Ajman's American and British curriculum schools.
City School sits in Al Tallah 2, close to Al Tallah Camel Race Course, within the wider Al Mowaihat area, one of Ajman's established freehold villa corridors. Al Mowaihat 3 has been cited as the nearest residential community to the school.
Villas are the dominant property type in this part of Ajman, typically in 3- to 7-bedroom configurations, alongside a growing supply of apartments and townhouses.
