The GEMS Difference

Great teachers inspire great students. That's why from simple roots in a family of teachers, GEMS Education is an international company with a mission to provide quality education to all.

What’s an education if it doesn’t teach fundamental human values? Values that, in the words of GEMS Founder Sunny Varkey, “will guide students through life”, allowing them to live happy, fulfilling and meaningful lives and have a positive impact on society and the world.

Going to school is about more than just academic performance; it’s about socialising, collaborating, developing life skills, growing as a person, expanding horizons and having fun. 

We believe every child has the potential to achieve extraordinary things given the freedom to explore, express and challenge themselves.

Support at every step, from high school to university and the world of work beyond, our mission is to open doors and facilitate success every step of the way.

All our schools are 100 per cent inclusive. Always. That means no one is ever turned away, no matter what their unique individual needs.

Just like you, we want the children in our care to be happy and to view and experience school as a safe space filled with discovery, opportunity and positive challenge. We firmly believe that happy students learn better, engaging in a more meaningful way, and thereby get the most out of their school experience.

All GEMS Education staff have a responsibility to ensure the welfare of our students at all times and this duty of care to students is paramount.

Through continuous research, design, and prototyping of new educational ecologies and emerging technologies, GEMS Education aims to redefine learning and schooling to meet the inter-connected societies of the future.
