Extra-Curricular Activities

GEMS World Academy, Abu Dhabi, believes education is about so much more than academic learning. It’s about developing our students’ talents and exploring their interests from an early age, as well as physical, emotional and social development.

With this in mind, we encourage our students to participate in a rich and diverse programme of extra-curricular activities, giving them the opportunity to enrich their school experience within a safe and supportive environment.
