About Us

GEMS World Academy – Abu Dhabi has been providing the highest quality education since 2011. We moved to our brand-new, purpose-built campus on Al Reem Island in 2022, when we also switched to an IB-British dual curriculum and expanded our provision to serve students from Foundation Stage 1 to Year 9. As we continue to grow, our ambition is to eventually become an all-through school, offering learners of all ages a world of pathways and qualifications up to Year 13.

We pride ourselves on fostering a warm and welcoming learning environment where all our students feel safe, happy and fulfilled. Our curriculum is built on a strong foundation that combines the rigour of the British syllabus and the inquiry-based approach of the International Baccalaureate. Our education philosophy champions the diversity of our student body to develop fully involved global citizens who are ready to excel in a rapidly changing world. Our approach is guided by a respect for each child’s uniqueness, ensuring we provide a hyper-personalised and future-proofed education.
