History
Dubai Gem Private School was founded in 1973 as a nursery in a villa with twenty students. Today, the school occupies an impressive location on Oud Metha, offers an internationally-recognized UK curriculum and has students from FS1 to Year 13.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) sets standards for the learning, development and care of children in FS1 and culminates with the A levels in Year 13. The school is affiliated to the Cambridge International Examinations, Edexcel (Pearson)-UK and is recognized by the Ministry of Education, Dubai.
Today in every corridor, every classroom, at every table, sits a student, hopeful and ambitious about their future. Since its inception, the school community has remained committed to creating an environment in which students are known, supported, challenged, and encouraged to grow. There remains an on-going commitment to be innovative and sensitive to the changing needs of the whole school community “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” ― W.B.
