Extra-Curricular Activities
Developing Skills in New Ways
Learning outside the classroom is a vitally important dimension of a child’s journey through school life. At GEMS Nations Academy, we offer
parents and students the opportunity to choose from a selection of activities that foster social, physical, emotional and cultural growth in addition
to academic advancement. Self-expression through collaborative group activities creates a more vibrant and engaging school community.
Our extra-curricular program provides extended experiential learning through sports, performing arts, journalism, additional languages, math
and science clubs and more. This list will grow continuously during the years of the school’s growth. All teachers will participate in leading
extra-curricular activities, and for many activities, we will call upon the expertise of specialists from outside the school—the artists,
athletes, and experts who live in the U.A.E. or who visit this global crossroads of culture and innovation.
The Student Experience
The Sciences
Students will have access to a range of different scientific activities to allow them to develop their understanding and curiosity
of the world in which they live. Students will be given scope to participate in ‘Science Fairs’ that maybe organized in the school’s
community or devise, design and make their own experiments during ‘Science Weeks’ at the school.
The Arts
Students will have access to a full and varied arts program that allows them to develop their creativity whether through art,
design, music, literature, drama or new technologies. Scope will be given for students to explore, interpret and create pieces
of work as a result of exploring and evaluating the work of artists in the school’s own and wider community.
