Opened in September 2013, GEMS Wellington Academy-Al Khail is an international world class school dedicated to fostering a passion for excellence in learning and in life. We provide rich and relevant learning opportunities based on the highly successful GEMS Wellington Schools academic learning model.
For the 2018-19 school year we are accepting Foundation Stage – Year 12 registrations, and will grow over the years to be a full FS-Year 13 school. We are excited to be opening Year 12 in September 2018 and we have developed an exciting post-16 curriculum, details of which you can find under the Learning tab.
There is an expectation that all students aim to excel and make significant progress well beyond age-related expectations. Children learn in inclusive and creative learning environments that encourage independence, challenge, curiosity and choice. We are an internationally minded, world class school dedicated to fostering a passion for learning. We provide rich, relevant, international and intercultural learning opportunities to help our students understand the world in which they live and thus the context of their learning.
GEMS Wellington Academy-Al Khail delivers programmes for learning that are rooted in the National Curriculum for England (NCfE) and enhanced by best practice globally so that students achieve the best possible academic outcomes and develop the habits and competencies which will make them successful lifelong learners.
GEMS Wellington Academy-Al Khail celebrates the diversity of cultures, backgrounds, abilities and skills of all its students, which are drawn from over 80 countries. The curriculum is values-driven and the GEMS core values bring a breadth of vision to the educational programme with extracurricular activities offered.

Couldn’t speak more highly of the school. Have 3 boys who’ve moved from the UK and settled instantly. The breadth and depth of opportunities are huge and the teachers are outstanding.

Excellent school GWA Al Khail with caring teachers and staff members. My daughter has been going here for 3 years now and has grown so much in that time, they really take their time with each student and it shows. I love how they teach, how your child is doing through their day, and with any issues that may come up. Great way to communicate with each teacher and our child loves it.

My eldest has been here since FS1 and is now going into year 7 my middle child is now going to year 4 and my younger one is in FS2. We have absolutely no complaints about this school. Both of my children wake up eager to go to school and come home excited about what they’ve learned. I have seen them blossom and flourish beautifully and be nurtured in their own way by the fantastic teachers and support staff. We love the school

My two sons moved here from another school in Dubai and we have been so impressed with the provision in the Primary school so far. The opportunities, the variety, the resources, the level of challenge, the excellent communication. Yes it is GEMS so a corporate run institution but the teachers care and are very experienced and very professional.
