I chose the IB program because I am intrigued by the hands-on curriculum as opposed to the more academic ones.
I found it interesting how the concept of character and confidence-building is integrated into the curriculum. Academically,
I can see my kids progressing; they are not rushed and neither am I. What I particularly like about this school is that
the doors are always open to parents. Everything is discussed so openly, both problems and solutions. I would not
want my kids to graduate from anywhere but GEMS International School - Al Khail.

The Middle Years Program
The Middle Years Program (MYP) is a challenging framework that encourages students to
make practical connections between their studies and the real world.
The MYP curriculum framework comprises eight subject groups, providing a broad and
balanced education for students in Grade 6 to Grade 10.
In the final year of the program, optional MYP eAssessment provides IB-validated grades
based on examinations and course work. Students who undertake external assessment
are eligible for IB Course Results and the IB MYP Certificate.
The MYP is open to any student aged 11 to 16 and is inclusive by design; students of all
interests and academic abilities can benefit from their participation.
