GEMS Wellington International School offers the English national curriculum from the basic stage to 11th grade, as well as the International Baccalaureate preparatory courses, curriculum, and career planning for 12th and 13th grades, making it a leader in the development of courses in the UAE and internationally. Our curriculum is committed to providing every child with rich and innovative learning opportunities. Our course mastery methods ensure that all learners develop profound and sustainable knowledge to apply their learning across a range of backgrounds. We provide learners with a dynamic and creative learning environment that encourages challenges, stimulates curiosity and interest.
Lower grade schools run from FS grade to 4th grade. Our unique "three school model" begins in the lower grades, and our students begin their learning journey at the basic stage. Continuing their journey to lower grades, our students enter grades 1-4, where they follow the English national curriculum.
The lower grades cover all seven learning areas specified in the early foundational curriculum in England, namely: communication and language; Physical development; Personal, social, and emotional development; Literacy; Mathematics; Understand the world; Performance Art and Design
Grades 1-4: English, mathematics, and science are very important and are considered core subjects in lower grades, combining our Arabic and Islamic courses. In addition, there are also familiar non core themes; Art, computer science, modern foreign languages, humanities, music, drama, and sports.
Students enter high schools at GEMS Wellington International School and begin to interact with subject experts in various fields of their studies. This transition period is a very important part of our student learning journey, which is why we offer holistic courses that promote a love for learning.
10th grade marks the beginning of critical stage 4, marking the seamless transition of many of us students from 9th grade on a two-year GCSE journey. There are over 24 GCSE subjects for students to choose from, and we do meet everyone's needs. From art and photography to economics and astronomy, our aspiration is to provide the right path for every child.
The IB international curriculum is internationally recognized as a university admission qualification and is an intensive transitional stage between high school education and the demand for higher level independent learning in universities. At GEMS Wellington International School, IB Diploma Program (IBDP), IB Career related Program (IBCP), and course plans are offered.
IB Diploma Program (IBDP): Students are required to study six courses, which are evaluated through a combination of course assignments and external exams. Each of the 6 subjects studied is scored on a 1-7 point scale, allowing students to obtain a maximum IB score of 6 out of the 42 subjects they have taken
IB Career Related Courses (IBCP): Choices for grades 12 and 13: Business IBCP and Creative Media IBCP. The admission requirement for Business IBCP is 5 GCSESAT levels or above, including mathematics and English language; The admission requirements for Creative Media IBCP are GCSES level 4 or above, including mathematics and English language.
CEG is a planned activity plan provided in the curriculum that enables students to identify their strengths, skills, aspirations, and dreams, so that when they have to make decisions about the next steps (such as GCSE subjects, sixth grade choices, and universities), they can make wise choices that suit them.
GEMS Wellington International School offers a wide range of activities to enrich students' educational experience. For example, performing arts, creative subjects, and media, etc. Students can also participate in sports activities with entertainment and competitive goals, including rugby, basketball, and fitness.
