Striving for Excellence

GEMS Royal Dubai School strives for excellence in everything we do. Your child's academic needs are our top priority and we encourage our students to develop their strengths outside as well as inside the classroom through an extensive range of Extra Curricular Activities (ECAs). A focus on student’s personal development promotes positive attitudes to learning. We also strongly value links with parents and work hard to develop effective home-school partnerships. This includes regular communication and times for us to meet and listen to each other as well as an exciting mix of performances, exhibitions, competitions and sporting events. What is most important in our school is a warm family atmosphere where the children feel safe, secure and happy.
