Global English School was established in Al Ain as one of the first private schools in 1982 by its founder Mr. P K Mohamed Ansari and from a modest beginning, the institution scaled heights quickly.

In 2002, Looking to the growing demand of International education and the aspirations of the local and expatriate community, Cambridge International Curriculum was adopted. The school is a Cambridge International School and the basic curriculum is aligned to that of the National Curriculum of England. At GES, we offer EYFS for Foundation Stage KG1 & KG 2, the National Curriculum of England aligned with the Cambridge international curriculum (CIPP and Cambridge Checkpoint) from Year 1 to 8, the Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge AS and A levels at Grade 9/10, 11 and 12 respectively.

The school has always respected and responded to the needs of the local Emarati community and contributed to their educational growth. Great importance is laid on Arabic, Islamic Studies and UAE culture studies, while not diluting the internationally recognized Cambridge curriculum.
