== History ==
Indian School Ajman was established in 1988 to serve the Indian expatriate community of Ajman.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Message from the Hon. Chairman: T. Mohanachandran|url=https://www.indianschoolajman.org/messages-1|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200406190607/https://www.indianschoolajman.org/messages-1|archive-date=2020-04-06|access-date=2019-08-11|website=Indian School Ajman}}</ref> The school presented its first batch of students for the [[All India Senior School Certificate Examination]] in 1992.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.indianschoolajman.org|title=Indian School Ajman|website=Indian School Ajman|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190811200647/https://www.indianschoolajman.org/|archive-date=2019-08-11|access-date=2019-08-11|url-status=live}}</ref> Initially, the school was the only one in its neighborhood; it started off with just eight faculty members, as enrollments started small and grew slowly. Presently, it has about 150 staff members and a total enrollment of more than 1800 students.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.edarabia.com/105700/indian-school-ajman-uae/|title=Indian School Ajman|last=|first=|date=|website=Edarabia|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190811205645/https://www.edarabia.com/105700/indian-school-ajman-uae/|archive-date=2019-08-11|access-date=2019-08-11}}</ref>

== Campus ==
The school was initially opened in a villa.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Message from the Principal: Malathi Das|url=https://www.indianschoolajman.org/principal|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200406185849/https://www.indianschoolajman.org/principal|archive-date=2020-04-06|access-date=2020-04-06|website=Indian School Ajman}}</ref> In 1991, it moved to its new premises, on a land granted by the [[Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi III|ruler of Ajman]], at the heart of [[Ajman]] city.
The school again moved to a bigger campus in 2020, following which it was renamed 'Global Indian School'.
