How should parents evaluate schools without KHDA ratings?
Unlike schools in Dubai (KHDA) or Abu Dhabi (ADEK), Ajman schools are not subject to a published inspection rating system. There is no star rating or annual report to check.
Parents in Ajman typically rely on four things when choosing a school:
- Fee level relative to the curriculum on offer
- Peer recommendations from other families in the area
- The school's track record with external exams (CBSE boards, Cambridge subjects)
- Facility visits and direct conversations with the admissions team
For British curriculum families, looking at how well a school prepares students for Cambridge IGCSE exams is one of the clearest signals of academic rigour. Ask which subjects are offered, how many qualified teachers lead each subject, and what the student-to-teacher ratio looks like in upper secondary.
