The Habitat Schools Group is a private group of schools, with three schools situated in different areas of Ajman in the United Arab Emirates.[1] It is the school that introduced the concept of Budget schooling in the northern emirates.[citation needed]
Overview
The first school of the group International Indian school, was established in 2002, and by 2014, the second school Habitat School, Al Jurf was established with a new concept of schooling by merging the possibilities of space, pedagogy, and technology.[citation needed]
One of the strengths of expatriate education is the cultural variety and linguistic plurality.[citation needed] Habitat schools’ welcoming community is a space where different people from different continents and backgrounds come together with a common mission at heart: “Sharing and Caring for humanity”.[citation needed]
As the schools, which introduced budget schooling in northern emirates, the mission was to make quality education accessible to all students, regardless of their cultural and financial status.[citation needed][when?] For many expatriate students, school is the only space of socialization and it is the place where the majority of their life is spent.[citation needed]
The campuses are designed for students to explore a wide range of experiences, ranging from farming to computer coding.[citation needed] With more than 2000+ trees in the campuses, the students have a green-calm environment for their studies. There is also an organic farm with a greenhouse where students learn about plants and farming.
The schools aim to introduce recent educational practices, for students to experience the basics of various domains during their school days.[citation needed] This has subsequently made the school group ‘The first in the UAE’ in many areas, from farming to an Artificial Intelligence Lab.[citation needed] The schools emphasise instilling the students with a sense of social responsibility and compassion for others and the wider living world. There are 46 nationalities and many cultures in the schools.
