As your partners in educating your child, it is our constant endeavour to facilitate your role as a parent. Our aim is to help your child stay motivated, earn higher grades, add years to his or her learning, have better social skills and be a responsible citizen. Working with so many diverse cultures and communities means that we have a whole world of caregivers, our very dear mums, dads, grandparents and guardians to draw on for expertise and support. We love to make use of your amazing resources. That’s why we regularly run carefully developed parental engagement activities and events at our schools. International research shows that parents who are actively engaged in their child’s learning can give them an extra two to three years' worth of schooling on top of their classroom experience. It’s not all about academic success only. In fact, good parental engagement can help your child learn even better social skills, an essential accomplishment for the future. Every parent, regardless of culture, language or experience, has something special to offer their child. Engaged parents value education and the school’s consistent initiatives towards it. They are strong role models of learning. All it takes is a 3-a-day approach:

These 3-way conferences led by our young learners for their parents and teachers, play a pivotal role in a GEMS school's assessment process. These biannual conferences empower students to exhibit their curated portfolios, reflecting their progress, identify their areas of improvement and take pride in their success. Young learners set goals and take accountability for their own learning. This metacognitive reflective practice helps them become self-aware lifelong learners, while also providing a platform for students to showcase their high-quality work and celebrate their achievements.
Academic research highlights the urgent need for Student Agency. The direction compass of their own learning journey remains in the hands of the learner as they explore their own unique path. We the caregivers, as their parents and educators must facilitate their efforts and help them achieve their unique potential. Our collaboration is paramount to the success of this journey. Research consistently demonstrates that when these three entities align, students achieve greater academic success, improved social skills, and increased self-esteem.
Students take the lead in presenting their academic progress, discussing their achievements, and identifying areas for improvement. They engage in deep self-evaluation of their own answer scripts using detailed rubrics. They identify their yellow boxes and are look for empathetic listening and compassionate understanding from all of us.
Our Extended Care program supports an active learning environment for students. It is a balanced structure to enhance their health, fitness, emotional well-being and co-curricular skills. Day care teachers, administrative staff and certified nannies ensure young learners' safety, security and hygiene in a home-like environment.
