It is my pleasure to welcome you to GEMS Founders, Al Mizhar (GFM). As Principal, it is a pleasure, a privilege and my duty to ensure that all students receive an outstanding education. I am clear that GFM exists to provide our community with an education of the highest standard and I want every child, your son or daughter, to be ‘tomorrow’s successful and caring citizens’. This is an expectation I have for all students.

At GFM we are delighted to be one of an elite group of High Performance Learning (HPL) schools in the world. High Performance Learning (HPL) provides young people at GFM with a powerful toolkit in the way they approach learning. We truly believe that through HPL our students quickly develop the cognitive and emotional skill-sets to grow in confidence and more fully exercise their intellect. In time, these skills empower them to achieve their dreams and make an informed and valuable contribution within a rapidly changing world. 

Developing our young people both academically and personally is at the heart of everything we do at GFM. They should leave us not only having fulfilled their personal best in terms of academic results, but also equipped with our core pillars of becoming lifelong learners, innovative and mindful citizens.

Combining the heritage and tradition of GEMS Education with an innovative and enterprising approach to teaching and learning, we aim to provide outstanding growth and progress for every student.

So, if you are a parent looking for life-changing education experiences for your child, or a prospective staff member looking for an organisation which offers its staff fantastic opportunities to develop and learn from some exceptional practitioners, I would invite you to explore our website to find out more about GFM, GEMS Education and our people. I will encourage you to book an appointment to visit GFM where I would be more than happy to meet with you. Please email [email protected].
