Here is a selection of GEMS schools currently enrolling for 2019-20 and 2020-21 Academic Years
Primary Years Programme (PYP – ages 3-11)
The PYP focuses on the development of the whole child as an inquirer, both in the classroom and in the world outside. PYP learning transcends traditional boundaries between subject areas. Students explore six transdisciplinary themes of global significance: who we are; where we are in place and time; how we express ourselves; how the world works; how we organise ourselves; and sharing the planet. The PYP culminates in the PYP Exhibition.
The four programmes of the IB curriculum
Middle Years Programme (MYP - ages 11-16)
The MYP provides a framework of learning that encourages students to become creative, critical, and reflective thinkers. It emphasises intellectual challenge, encouraging students to make connections between their studies in traditional subjects and to the real world. Learners explore six global contexts: identities and relationships; personal and cultural expression; orientation in space and time; scientific and technical innovation; fairness and development; globalisation and sustainability. The MYP culminates in the MYP Personal Project or Community Project.
Diploma Programme (DP - ages 16-19)
The DP is a balanced and academically challenging programme of education over two academic years, with rigorous assessment. It prepares students for success in higher education and encourages them to become active participants in an increasingly global society. The DP consists of six subject groups and the three elements of the DP ‘core’. The DP culminates in the 4,000-word Extended Essay.
Career-related Programme (CP - ages 16-19)
The CP is a unique two-year programme that specifically addresses the needs of students who wish to engage in career-related education. Students combine the study of DP courses with career-related studies and the four elements of the CP core. As one of these core elements, the personal and professional skills course focuses on preparing students to effectively navigate a range of personal and professional situations that they may encounter in the workplace. The CP culminates in the CP Reflective Project.
