Ajyal International School MBZ opened in Mohammed Bin Zayed City, Abu Dhabi, in September 2014 and was the first school opened by the Bin Omeir Foundation. It follows the English National Curriculum and offers FS1 to Year 13, with mixed-gender classes through Year 5 and gender-segregated classes from Year 6 onward. Enrollment grew from about 650 students at opening to around 800, and to 1,000 by 2020. ADEK rated the school Acceptable in the 2016–17 cycle, Good in the 2018–19 cycle, and Developed during the May 2020 distance-learning inspection. In 2024, ADEK rated Ajyal MBZ as Very Good.

Ajyal MBZ fosters a sense of community among students, families and staff, with facilities such as an auditorium to host school performances and community events. It emphasizes community engagement through workshops and hands-on learning experiences for students and their families, creating opportunities to connect with teachers and school leaders. The school collaborates with local authorities and environmental organizations to host events and lectures for the school community. Activities include a broad range of after-school clubs, sports days, and performances that involve families as spectators or participants.

A formal Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is not publicly described on Ajyal MBZ pages. Parent involvement is supported through opportunities to attend workshops and connect with teachers and school leaders, and through family-focused events and activities. The school runs charity fundraising events such as Pink Day and Ramadan initiatives that invite family participation. There are additional programs that involve visiting speakers from businesses and voluntary organizations, with families often encouraged to take part in field trips and related activities. While a formal PTA structure is not advertised, Ajyal MBZ maintains channels for parent participation and collaboration with school staff.
