Conveniently positioned in the heart of Dubai city, GEMS Founders School – Al Mizhar, is the newest addition to GEMS English schools and invites you to join us on our journey of learning!

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.

GEMS Jumeirah Primary School’s DNA provides an experience as individual as our families are. Our family of over seventy nationalities is part of a school community with more than twenty years of success in Dubai. Our Senior Leadership Team and high teacher retention rates ensure a seamless journey for our transient learners in the UAE. We meet the individual needs of all children and their families and facilitate the best possible personal experience to ensure our learners excel beyond their potential flight path.

Our dedicated teaching team, as well as administrative and ancillary staff, and our families together make this a consistently ‘Outstanding’ school.

We will be the pre-eminent intellectual, creative school where research and design transform and drive learning and teaching to address issues of urbanisation, technological change, economic empowerment, sustainability and globalisation, through effective engagement while employing better communication and organized systems to meet social needs.

The GEMS Legacy School prepares students to become leaders by helping them to contribute and succeed in a continuously evolving global arena, thereby ensuring that tomorrow’s world is a better and more just place.

We help students build the skills and competencies for success and leadership in the emerging creative economy. We motivate students to apply their practical and theoretical knowledge to improve conditions for local and global communities. At GEMS Legacy School, we promote Academic Rigor, Philanthropy as well and Innovation and the school tagline ‘A Legacy of Empathy, Resilience, Leadership and Sustainable Living’ reflects the ethos and culture of the school.

Our vision, values and mission align themselves with the shifts in the global economy, society and environment. We desire to change the status quo through creativity and innovation – both in what and how we teach and in the intellectual ambitions of the school itself. We aim to orient our students’ academic experiences to become critically engaged citizens dedicated to solving problems and contributing to the welfare of the public.

The GEMS Legacy School will embrace these principles and innovate to address shifts in the global economy, society and environment that require individuals to grapple with complex problems, pursue more fluid and flexible career pathways and collaboratively create change.

We want every child to enjoy coming to school, to feel secure in their friendships and to be happy to learn. We strongly believe that at GEMS Metropole, we achieve the right balance between work and play.

While academic excellence undoubtedly opens doors to a brighter future, we also understand the significance of instilling strong character and practical skills that extend far beyond the classroom walls. At Metropole, we are dedicated to empowering students to become true leaders, equipped to embrace challenges, make a positive impact, and excel in all aspects of life.

Our vision is to create a sustainable and inclusive community hub that nurtures tomorrow’s leaders. Our mission is simple: to lead, nurture, and succeed. Our values of curiosity, confidence, creativity, respect, and kindness serve as the foundation for everything we do.

Al Waha is a vibrant and growing residential community located in Dubailand, one of Dubai’s most exciting and dynamic neighbourhoods. Our school is conveniently situated in the heart of Al Waha, making it easily accessible for families living in the surrounding areas.

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.
