Curriculum Overview

GEMS Royal Dubai School offers an enriched version of the National Curriculum for England, which places emphasis on the core subjects and careful monitoring of progress to ensure a record of academic success, complimented by provision in the foundation subjects which include the Creative Arts, PE and French. Our curriculum is enhanced by the MOE subjects of Arabic Language for native and non-native speakers, Islamic Studies, Moral, Social and Cultural Studies and a wide ranging extra curricular programme.

Widely recognised as one of the best UK curriculum schools in Dubai, GEMS Royal Dubai School is forward thinking; embracing new approaches to learning and technology and preparing students for the future. Through our vision of achieving excellence together, the HPL cognitive domains (ACPs) and the values, attitudes and attributes (VAAs), RDS students are active participants in their own learning journeys.

There may be some elements of both the EYFS and National Curriculum for England (Primary) that are omitted due to the cultural requirements of our host nation. If you would wish to discuss this further, please contact the school for more information.
