GEMS Education is proud of its strategic partnerships which include the Clinton Global Initiative, the Tony Blair Faith Foundation, the World Economic Forum and Microsoft. GEMS is also leading the world by becoming the first educational organisation of its type to introduce a parent engagement strategy into all of its schools. When parents are engaged, children achieve better grades, have fewer discipline problems and are more likely to be successful in their lives. Research indicates that a parent who is actively and consistently engaged with his or her child at home can add the equivalent of two years of extra additional education over a school career. Why the “GEMS” name? The GEMS name and logo reflect our belief that every child is precious and unique, eager to learn and develop to his or her potential. We value and nurture our children by providing individual care and attention.
We value parents’ trust in allowing us to provide the education and care that will enable their children to grow, learn and be ready for a bright future. |
