GEMS International School, Dubai Hills, opened in September, 2013, as a premier school offering the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme. With a strong multicultural student body and faculty of over 93 nationalities, we educate our students on the importance of Respect, Trust and Ambition (the three values in our school culture which underlie all we do). Through developing these core personal and social skills, and maintaining the GEMS Education ethos of learning for life and philanthropy, our students become truly global citizens. This year we have introduced the IB Career-related Programme to our pathways post-16 and also the Tareeqi Programme, our in-house KHDA approved SEN pathway. Our community is known for its warmth and inclusivity, with student leadership and responsibility (at all ages) highly valued. Our school is committed to digital citizenship and our dedicated Digital Learning Coaches enable students to discover ways that technology can assist and enhance their learning. Our students are not the only learners: our faculty is dedicated to self-improvement and sharing best practice through the highest levels of professional development.
