Values and vision

GEMS Wellington International School works to provide all students with an engaging and vibrant learning environment where they can reach their full potential. The Dubai school follows the four core values of “Growing by learning, pursuing excellence, learning through innovation and global citizenship.” It is vital to the all-through school that learners are happy and feel valued during their time in education and dedicated teachers work to get to know learners as individuals to discover their interests, goals, and ambitions and nurture them accordingly. The school develops students as independent, confident and motivated individuals who enjoy the challenges and achievements that come with learning. It is vital to the school that parents play a committed and present role in the education of their children so that students receive the support and guidance both in the classroom and during their home life. Pupils are encouraged to get involved with extra-curricular activities to gain new experiences, build their confidence and nurture existing interests and talents. These include drama class, sports clubs, music lessons and the Duke of Edinburgh Award. The school is committed to taking care of it's staff, and offers benefits including on-site nurses, travel assistance and the opportunity to transfer to other GEMS schools across the globe.
