Beyond the Classroom
Enrichment Opportunities
We believe every child has the potential to achieve extraordinary things given the freedom to explore, express and challenge themselves. Amongst the many advantages of attending a GEMS Education School is the opportunity to participate in a range of extra-curricular activities that foster curiosity, understanding and passion outside the classroom. Whether your child is sporty, musical, dramatic, competitive, curious or creative, there is something to provide a wealth of skills, experiences and opportunities. Students across our schools are encouraged to find an activity they like, apply and challenge themselves.
Activities are delivered by our experienced and qualified teaching staff, in addition to external professionals when required.

Sports
Regardless of talents or skills, our diverse sports programmes ensure that all students are able to take part or compete in physical activity. Whether it’s training of a core sport or trying out a new one, our students are encouraged to utilize the facilities and opportunities provided at a recreational level or as part of a structured competitive sports programme.
-
Arts & Creativity
From fine arts and drama to music and dance, our creative programmes are dynamic and progressive, giving students the opportunity to engage in a variety of artistic media and experiences. By providing an outlet to develop imagination, express curiosity and build self-confidence, our students continue to amaze our community with their artistic outputs year after year.

Languages & Culture
Our schools are enriched by an international community of students, teachers and staff that come from diverse nationalities and backgrounds. To nurture global citizens with international mindsets, our language and culture clubs allow students to practice their skills outside of the classroom while promoting intercultural and conceptual understanding.
