The curriculum at GEMS Jumeirah Primary School is also underpinned by the GEMS core values of World Citizenship, Leadership Qualities, Universal Values and Forward Thinking. These values are embedded into curriculum planning so that pupils are not only prepared for academic success, but equipped to be well-rounded lifelong learners and responsible, proactive members of the global community, poised to engage the future with competence and confidence.
The preparation of our pupils for their future in a world where globalisation and technology are driving rapid change requires that the curriculum at every point include the use of ICT to enhance its delivery and to draw on world resources.
