Our Learning Environment
Encouraging Creativity & Expression
A variety of environments allow children to develop the attributes of a well-rounded learner. Our bright, interactive, modern classrooms create
an environment conducive to learning. They invite young minds into a sense of inquiry, exploration, and discovery. Employing best practices from
leading schools in the U.S., our teachers will create a learning experience for students that will cultivate creativity, a spirit of innovation, digital
fluency, global awareness, and a toolkit of 21st century skills that will serve them well in college and beyond.
The information age has fundamentally changed the way in which students assimilate and process knowledge, and their interaction with
digital tools of communication and information-sharing is intuitive. In schools everywhere, teachers struggle to match the rate at which
students are adapting to these new modes and methods for sharing information and making connections. At GEMS Nations Academy,
we understand that every member of the school community- students, teachers, and parents—will embrace the challenge of remaining
current in a rapidly changing world. We are recruiting teachers to embrace what we now call the “growth mindset,” not only for their
students but also for themselves. The challenges and possibilities of new digital tools, interdisciplinary study, world events, and vexing
questions in the realm of the environment and politics all will contribute to a school environment that is dynamic, engaging, and all
about learning.
Our Campus and Facilities
Beyond the academic classroom there will be expansive opportunities for extraordinary growth. The 70,000m
2
campus will
include a full provision for athletics and performing arts, with a 50m Olympic pool, 400m running track, a large gymnasium,
playing fields and shaded playgrounds, theaters, and dedicated studios for music and arts for all grade levels.
At every step, we wish to create an engaging and student-friendly environment where every aspect of design affirms the
aspirations of students.
