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.
