Frontline International Private School stands in Al Tallah 2 in Ajman on a five-acre plot and calls itself the emirate's first British school rated "Good". The curriculum is an adapted British one: the Early Years Foundation Stage from England and the Cambridge British International curriculum together with the requirements of the UAE Ministry of Education, running from Early Years at three to A levels at eighteen. Six stages run right through: EYFS, Key Stages 1 and 2 in the primary school, and Key Stages 3, 4 and 5 in the secondary school, with IGCSE in Years 10 and 11 and AS and A level in Years 12 and 13. The school states its own results: 98 per cent of grades at A*-C at IGCSE and 76 per cent at A*-C at A level. The principal is K. Amin-Ali, with a Cambridge PGCE, NPQH and NPQEL. The campus has separate biology, chemistry and physics laboratories, four ICT suites and a primary STEM programme, and a multi-purpose hall seating more than 1,200 for inter-house sport, inter-school competitions and the Year 13 graduation. Sport gets a week of its own - the Frontline Olympics every spring - with specialist qualified PE staff from Early Years through to the secondary school and lessons on diet and lifestyle for older students. The school names its values in four words: family, international, progress and safety. What a parent needs to know: there are no fees on the site - the fee page is empty - so the price has to be asked for at the school.

CambridgeCambridge International Education
Part of the University of Cambridge. It allows a school to teach the Cambridge programmes and to enter pupils for the exams. There are four stages and they are authorised separately: primary, lower secondary, IGCSE and A Level. If the stages are known they are named in the line below; if that line is missing, the school does not publish them, and the Cambridge registry does not show stages either - it gives only the name of the centre, the country and whether private candidates are accepted. Cambridge calls what it does registration rather than accreditation, and the network holds about ten thousand schools.
What the badge means for this school. The school is allowed to run this programme and to award its certificate. This is a confirmation of the programme, not a judgement on the school as a whole. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it. At this school: Primary (ages 5-11), Lower Secondary (ages 11-14), IGCSE (ages 14-16), A-Level (ages 16-18). Primary is the primary stage, ages 5 to 11: English, mathematics and science to Cambridge syllabuses. At the end of the stage a school may run the optional Checkpoint test, which is marked in Cambridge. Lower Secondary is the middle stage, ages 11 to 14, with the same optional Checkpoint test at the end. IGCSE means exams at around Year 10 or 11, the British counterpart of a lower secondary leaving certificate. A-Level is the senior years, and their results are what British and many other universities admit on.

Reviews
No reviews yet. The community rating counts towards the score once a school has five verified reviews - until then we do not show a zero, so as not to mislead.

A low score here means the school does not write about this, not that the school does not have it: a school with good security and a sparse site will score low. A school can fill in its profile, and the score will be counted again.
The score is counted from 7 of the 9 criteria.Only those with checkable data count: programmes and accreditations from official registers, the fee from a published price list. Where it says "scored on the median", the school has no data and the middle of the list is put in its place, so that a gap gives no advantage. Admissions, teaching staff and reviews come in as their data arrives.
