New British school opens in Ajman

The school provides education from foundation year to Grade 6, with fees starting from Dh10,000 per year.

Speaking to Khaleej Times, Dr Mohammad Tariq, chairman and managing director of Paradigm Pioneers Group said, “We have been operating schools in India and Kuwait and this is our first education venture in the UAE. We plan to open three more schools by the end of 2015 with one Indian curriculum school planned in Sharjah.”

More grades will be added to the new school next year.

With the school strategically located behind Safeer Mall in Ajman, it is easily accessible to Ajman, Sharjah and Umm Al Quwain residents. “The school has created 750 additional seats and we have committed as a long-term infrastructure investment, in line with Ajman’s Vision 2021,” added Dr Tariq.

The school will be led by Principal Pieter Louw and a team of locally-recruited teachers. “We will be hiring from abroad in the second stage of recruitment and the current teachers have been shortlisted after extensive research,” said Louw.

The school is equipped with the latest learning technologies including smart classes, interactive library and an e-learning portal. The school has also committed to building a natural garden with four themes: Rock Garden, Sensory Garden, Edible Garden and Blooming Garden.
