At GEMS Al Khaleej International School (GEMS AKIS) we resolutely believe that success stems from exceptional teaching practices, attentive administration, wonderful families and responsible students.

We have been bringing out the best in each student since 1992 by promoting a healthy balance between Islamic values, cultural heritage and 21^st century learning skills. In order to achieve this we have established a culture of integrity that supports academic success and creates a community of lifelong learners. This, in tandem with a curriculum infused with social justice themes, allows children to develop the skills of global students who are ready for every challenge and opportunity.

GEMS Education is committed to providing quality instruction by placing an effective teacher in front of every child, an effective Principal at every school, and effective staff in all roles across the entire organization. GEMS AKIS represents a culmination of the innovative ideas and fresh perspectives generated by this philosophy, with its mission being to educate the next generation of international leaders.

Whether you are already a part of our school community or you are exploring GEMS AKIS for the first time, we trust you find our site enlightening, enjoyable and user-friendly. We also hope the site expresses a little of the essence of the magnificent learning environment fostered by our dedicated teachers and gifted students. Together they make GEMS Al Khaleej International School the unique and special place it is.

GEMS Founders School – Al Mizhar is an international UK curriculum school, providing students in Dubai with the high standard of education that GEMS Education embodies.

We are part of the GEMS Education family of international schools. GEMS Education is an international body that pursues excellence in education, ensuring that it is accessible for every child, everywhere. This pursuit of excellence has seen GEMS Education set new standards across the world with the four core concepts of learning: learning through innovation, pursuing excellence, growing by learning and global citizenship.

As a Dubai school that teaches students the National Curriculum for England, we offer a reasonably priced world-class education for Foundation Stage to Year 11 students and eventually grow to provide an education from FS to Y13. Our multicultural student base provides our school with an international atmosphere and our professional team nurtures and inspires our students to become learners for life.

Children and learning are at the heart of our well-established school. The standards of behaviour are exceptionally high, as are academic and personal achievements, as all staff and students are encouraged by the ‘inspirational leadership’ (KHDA) to be creative and innovative in their pursuit to go ‘beyond outstanding’. Our children move onto their next phase of education believing they can ‘rewrite the stars’.

Teaching the best of the British Curriculum, whilst incorporating the methodologies of the highest-attaining international curriculums to enhance our learners’ experiences in a school building with exceptional facilities, all aspects of the JPS world-class curriculum focus in depth to challenge and develop resilient and adaptable global learners.

At GEMS Modern Academy, we take the responsibility of nurturing our children’s dreams seriously and ensure they enjoy their academic journey, as the most glorious years are spent in the safe environs of school, where the wonder of first-time experiences craft childhood memories that will be savoured forever.

The ethos that has taken years to build is palpable as soon as you enter the school, and even a casual visitor cannot help but be drawn to the warmth and care that seem to exude from every corner.  As a visiting overseas principal once commented – even the walls seem to speak!

At GEMS Modern Academy, like everywhere else, technology is a double-edged sword and while we are eager to maximise the obvious benefits, we are treading cautiously and mindfully. The concept of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) has progressed from being mere jargon to a reality. Our students and teachers are embracing it, but our parents are concerned, and rightly so. While we certainly do not have all the answers, we are leaving no stone unturned in helping our children use technology responsibly.

The parents of children who have passed out from Grade 12 endorse the ACE (Activities for Curriculum Enrichment) programme we believe in so strongly – the lessons learnt from peers, juniors and seniors, and the leadership opportunity afforded during the afternoon programme chisels their personalities and grooms them into fine young adults who walk tall and take their rightful place in society.

With an enduring dedication to the pursuit of excellence, GEMS New Millennium School offers unparalleled student experiences across a broad spectrum of academic environments. Our uniquely developed curriculum from Pre – Kindergarten to Grade 12 is imparted through an enriched, skill-focused program that prepares students for the transition into the full-fledged academic rigour of the CBSE syllabus in Grade 9.

The innovative curriculum features a broad range of subjects, each designed to foster key skills such as communication, problem-solving, enquiry, critical thinking, research and innovation, personal and social awareness and the spirit of enterprise. Of particular significance is the emphasis on the development of literacy and numeracy skills to meet the needs of learners across all age groups, given that we have students that form a wide spectrum of nationalities, communities and cultures.
