SUCCESS FOR ALL AS LIFELONG LEARNERS

At GEMS Wellington International School your

child will experience a highly effective and

inclusive environment which will inspire them

to achieve and succeed.

Our school offers a unique structure for

students to support their education through

the model of a Lower, Middle and Upper

School. With this, students will journey from

FS1 to Year 4 in our Lower School focusing on

learning through play and active learning in our

bespoke ¡®Learning Zones¡¯ which help students

develop their creativity, motor skills, STEAM

understanding and digital awareness, truly

engaging and exciting them about learning and

the wider world. The transition into the Middle

School in Year 5 sees students developing

their independence and critical thinking skills

through a tailored curriculum taught by core

specialist teachers, including secondary

specialists who focus on enhancing the

curriculum across Year 5 and Year 6, making

a seamless transition into Year 7. Throughout

Middle School, we continue to embed

High Performance Learning (HPL) through

carefully planned lessons which incorporate

the 5 Advanced Cognitive Performance

Characteristics (ACPs) and are identified as

and successful.

the following skills: Meta-cognition, Linking,

Realising, Creating and Analysing.

From here, students¡¯ learning skills continue

to develop; GCSE skills and attributes are

mapped back to fully prepare our students for

when they progress into the Upper School. In

2020-21, more than one third of our students

gained a minimum of 40 IBDP points, which is

particularly impressive as the world average

IBDP points is 33. Furthermore, the number of

students achieving 35 points or above has more

than doubled in the last two years.

At WIS, this journey to success is accelerated

in Year 10 and 11, with the breadth of subjects

on offer for GCSE, including Business Studies,

Design Technology and Psychology and we

pride ourselves on preparing our students for

Higher Education through personalised support,

learning and pathways which encourage

independence, debate and discussion. We are

proud of what our educational culture instills

and we are still one of the highest achieving

non-selective schools in Dubai.

As a fully inclusive international school,

enabling a first-class educational experience

for students aged three to eighteen years, we

ensure that all students are supported and

challenged to achieve success. We recognise

the uniqueness of each child through learning

opportunities that promote challenge and

personalised learning at all levels. A plethora

of enriching learning opportunities, within and

beyond the classroom, ensure that students

enjoy sporting and benefit from highly creative

and stimulating experiences. Visits, trips, team

competitions, our Explore, Enrich Excite (EEE)

programme, which offers a range of clubs

and extra activities, as well as an emphasis

on memorable learning moments ensure high

levels of engagement at WIS, which supports

outstanding attainment and progress from

Foundation Stage through to IB level.
