GEMS Cambridge International School has a proven track record of success in both academic and extra-curricular activities. GEMS Cambridge International School consistently produces results that are significantly above the UK national average, year after year. Over the past 3 years alone, GEMS Cambridge students have been accepted to 97 universities in 26 countries.

At GEMS Cambridge International School, Abu Dhabi, we offer an enhanced British National Curriculum. Recognised as academically rigorous by universities worldwide, the National Curriculum for England allows us to offer a broad and balanced set of subjects, allowing students to explore their passions and interests whilst, at the same time, ensuring pathways are followed that give students the skills and qualifications needed for a 21st century world. The curriculum is mapped from Foundation Stage through to Year 13, and using GCSE, International GCSE and A Level and International A Level qualifications.

Learners have access to 25m swimming pool, cricket nets, indoor sports areas, multipurpose halls, a separate Foundation Stage play area, ICT suites and wireless connectivity throughout the campus, state-of-the-art science laboratories, libraries, art studios, music choral and ensemble rooms, design and technology and media suites. We are a High-Performance Learning school, ensuring we recognise and nurture every individual student's potential. This approach recognises that all students have the potential to achieve the very highest results, and emphasises the attitudes and performance characteristics needed to do so.

Parents can play a huge role in helping their kids to fulfil their academic potential, and advanced learning expert Professor Deborah Eyre and education journalist Wendy Berliner, authors of the new book Great Minds and How to Grow Them, believe they know just what parents need to do. Here are Berliner and Eyre's tips to help your child to fulfil their academic potential. Eyre and Berliner explain the latest neurological and psychological research shows most children are capable of reaching the high levels of performance previously associated only with the gifted and talented. They stress that IQ and potential isn't fixed - evidence shows it can be grown, and the key is developing the right learning attitudes and attributes. The vast majority of children could do really well at school, but unless parents play their part and help them learn the habits of high performance, they're far less likely to get there.

The school features nine fully-equipped, state-of-the-art science laboratories and seven computer (ICT) suites, with computer access also available in the libraries. Every classroom and break out area is connected to our extensive commuter wireless networking enabling students to access ICT in any area of the school.

Beyond the development of skills, our sporting facilities support students in their goals of leading healthy and active lifestyles. The quality and investment evident at the school’s playing facilities reflects the importance the GEMS places on both individual and team sports. All learners have access to 25m swimming pool, a beginner pool, brand new library, cricket nets and playing fields, that complement the indoor sports areas and multi-purpose halls. A separate, well-equipped playing area is available for learners in Foundation. Visiting teams from other schools comment on the exceptional quality of our facilities, something we are very proud of. we have a brand new full size Astroturf pitch.

Gems CIA has been very professional. They have a way of developing creative minds. They don't make you like a bookworm. Most kids here are social. To be fair I have got lifelong friends in here. You should come here if your kid wants a good education without being socially awkward

Now that we have moved to Dubai but my kids still miss the school, teachers and their friends. Miss Socorro Mendoza, Ms Michelle Cronin and Ms Edwina Grehan are the best teachers in FS2 and Year 1. Ebrahim and Mustafa love you all.
