How would you rate GEMS World Academy (GWA)?
Our initial enthusiasm in 2020 has changed by the school's declining standards. It is imperative to address these issues: - The school's management must prioritize their fundamental role of imparting values and curriculum, rather than treating the school environment like a fashion and status competition. - The lack of native speakers teaching their respective subjects is unacceptable and requires immediate rectification. - The significant presence of Russian students, who require additional language assistance, is noticeably slowing down the pace of classes. It is essential to establish dedicated classes for non-English speaking students to ensure efficient learning for all.
Gems is a comfortable and happy school

Whilst this school offers extensive facilities - planetarium, recording studio, olympic sized swimming pool, etc. the real value in this school is in the community. This school feels like a family, and it really is a wonderful place to be.

GEMS World Academy Dubai has changed a lot in the 6 years I have been there. There are some good teachers, but they are few and far between. Also, the general environment is not great. Most of the students don't respect a lot of the teachers, and the students are more focused on material things, like designer bags, rather than the schoolwork. The school has also become more test-oriented, rather than focusing on the student, and tries to impress the government, often at the risk of the students.
