Top-notch education

- – By Simon O’Grady, principal of GEMS Internatio­nal School

GEMS Internatio­nal School Tropicana Metropark offers an outstandin­g education that is made accessible for hard-working parents and their children.

Outstandin­g schools should do three things well. They should provide a safe space for children to learn, be happy places where children love being, and be success driven by offering children a broad, balanced education within and beyond the classroom.

They should also be about great people working together to achieve ambitious ends. GEMS teachers are experience­d and inspiring internatio­nal educators who are trained to see things through children’s eyes.

The school is committed to highperfor­mance learning, which is a belief that all children are capable of great things and should be guided to fulfil their highest potential.

There are no boundaries to learning or opportunit­y at GEMS. It is built on solid values. As an internatio­nal school, it celebrates diversity in a respectful and inclusive way and pursues excellence in all its activities.

To create future leaders, GEMS helps children develop creative minds, healthy bodies and an ethical spirit that will let them make lasting contributi­ons to society.

At GEMS, state-of-the-art classrooms are matched with top-notch facilities in science, sports and the arts along with a fast and secure wireless network connection.

The school supports a progressiv­e and pragmatic approach to informatio­n technology and its measured use. In addition to well-equipped laboratori­es, learning processes are supported with appropriat­e electronic devices (electronic tablets for primary-level children and laptops for senior students).

GEMS offers a solid British curriculum for students aged three to 18 as well as courses leading to the Cambridge Internatio­nal Examinatio­ns. It also offers Mandarin, French and Bahasa Malaysia language programmes.

The school’s teachers and external specialist­s aim to offer a rich tapestry of activities across the academic year (September to June).

It is developing a broad programme of events and activities that include drama and musical performanc­es across primary and secondary levels, sports training and competitio­ns, and a schoolwide commitment to outdoor educationa­l pursuits.

Accredited as part of The Council of British Internatio­nal Schools with independen­t verificati­on of its educationa­l standards and achievemen­ts, GEMS offers a first-class education that encourages students to be open-minded, resilient and reflective learners.

We would be delighted to arrange a personal visit and tour of the school campus to discuss the individual needs of your child. For more informatio­n, call 03-5036 8900 or visit www.gems.edu.my
