GEMS American Academy opens in Qatar
GEMS Education announced today that it will open its first owned and operated school in Qatar this September.
On opening, GEMS American Academy-Qatar, an American Curriculum School, will welcome up to 1550 students from Kindergarten through to Grade 5 in the first year and in successive years will grow and expand the secondary years.
Located in Al Wakrah, Qatar, GEMS American Academy-Qatar (GAA) will be based on the United States Common Core State Standards.
The school is the first owned and operated school for GEMS Education in Qatar and joins the GEMS’ American Curriculum school network which includes GEMS’ flagship American Curriculum school, Dubai American Academy (DAA).
Michael Wood, Principal of GEMS American Academy, explained what parents can look forward to at the new school. “It is my belief that an educator’s mission is to make school enjoyable and exciting – if students look forward to attending school, they will want to learn.
The school will actively encourage all students to be a part of sporting and physical activity, as well as cultural and artistic activities, which will all be delivered in state- of-the-art facilities, by experienced teachers.
Parents interested in registering their children for the coming academic year should contact the school registrar, Bernadette Riemer-Harris at [email protected] or visit www.gemsamericanacademy-qatar.com/
