My educational philosophy is simple yet profound: to empower every student to take ownership of their learning, become independent learners, and acquire the real-life skills needed to thrive in an ever-changing world. It is with immense pride that I lead Ajyal International School, as it truly embodies my vision of education — a place where lives are transformed, aspirations are nurtured, and dreams are pursued and realised.
Ajyal International School has proudly served the community for over a decade, continually striving for excellence in education. Our unwavering commitment to high-quality educational provision was recognised most recently in November 2024, when ADEK awarded us a Very Good rating. This accolade reflects the dedication and hard work of our students, staff, and parents in maintaining the highest standards of learning and personal development.
At AJIS, we firmly believe that student learning and progress lie at the heart of our mission. Yet, we are equally committed to equipping our students with the skills and attributes required to thrive as responsible and confident global citizens. We aim to foster strong moral values, enabling our students to lead meaningful and principled lives.
Throughout my career, from teaching secondary mathematics to leading high-performing schools, my guiding principle remains the same: education should open doors, ignite passions, and empower young people to positively impact the world. My priority is to build a welcoming culture where students experience a deep sense of belonging, staff are professionally fulfilled, and families actively partner with us in their child’s learning journey.
Ajyal International School MBZ is at an exciting stage of its journey. Together—our dedicated educators, supportive families, and inspiring students—we will build upon strong foundations to shape a forward-thinking school community that is proud of its values, ambitious in its vision, and united in purpose.
I warmly invite you to explore our website, visit our campus, and experience the welcoming and distinctive spirit of Ajyal. I look forward to personally welcoming you and your family into our community.
