GEMS Al Barsha National School aims to be one of the leading national schools producing future leaders of character who are confident, resilient, adaptable and ethical global citizens.

We offer a world class education founded on the National Curriculum for England. This educational programme, from Foundation through to A-Levels, is internationally recognised and will provide our students with the opportunity to access some of the finest universities in the UAE as well as overseas.

We place specific emphasis on developing literacy and numeracy skills in both Arabic and English through equal bilingual language instruction in the Foundation years.

Our teaching and learning programs will develop your children’ critical thinking, leadership, creativity and problem solving skills through a variety of engaging and innovative student centred activities.

In FS1 and FS2 girls and boys will be taught co-educationally with girls and boys taught together in every class. From Y1 onwards girls and boys will be taught separately.

The school aims to develop and nurture students who:

  • have high expectations of themselves
  • are knowledgeable, inquirers and life-long learners
  • have a sense of belonging to the United Arab Emirates and understand the local culture and Islamic values
  • understand and are capable of taking advantage of the enormous opportunities across the world
  • are tolerant of other cultures and beliefs

The school is committed to the highest standards of academic excellence and the introduction of skills to lead students towards happy and successful lives. We will develop intellectually capable young students with creative minds, healthy bodies, and ethical spirits that desire to offer a combination of wisdom, compassion and leadership to a global society. Respecting the dignity of the individual person and sensitive to the needs of a diverse society, we strive to enhance and strengthen the values students first acquired in their homes.

Highly recommend this school, their education is top tier. Also recommend a tour with Germeen, she really gave us a thorough tour of the whole compound and was such a sweetheart. Thanks for the hospitality!

I visited to inquire about the curriculum for my child’s enrollment and was very lucky to meet with Germeen who was very welcoming and kind to agree to tour me around the school and answer to all of my concerns and questions ! Kudos to GEMS for finding just the perfect balance between Arab roots and the British curriculum all of us moms look for. 10/10 for the team and thank you Germeen on the great support !

Ive had such a wonderful experience at the school with their staff. The ladies at reception were so welcoming and greeted me with delight. Ms Germeen was phenomenal in her tour. Greeting me and my family with such a big smile and the tour was very informative and very very thorough. She explained everything in detail and in such a lovely way. Facilities were great, the building is spacious and I loved their focus on the Arabic and UAE identity. Unique. After the tour, she guided us very kindly to the admissions office where we've been provided with great support about the process. Great visit, definitely recommend it!

Ruba was an absolute gem who was so helpful and kind in assisting me through the application process from outside the country. Her counsel and advice has been incredibly helpful! She is amazing

Amazing school! I can see the progress and confident that my son had gained! Excellent english, excellent arabic! And ofc other subjects as well. English is a language that can be learned easily due to the exposure to social media etc, but arabic is very hard to be learned! GEMS does that for you! I am very pleased with my sons arabic learning! Do not bother to bring a private teacher to your child if he is studying in this school!

Very good school for my child, she was there from 1st to 5th grade. I believe it is a great option for families who want their child to be educated as much as possible. It is also fun and they reward the children for their hard work. My daughter always loves it.
