As a family, everyone has a chance to learn from each another and care for one another. Each and every learner is provided with the opportunities, skills and knowledge needed to succeed in an ever-changing and increasingly digital world. GEMS FirstPoint School ensures that the appropriate support and training is facilitated for the school’s wider family members as well, ensuring that everyone can adapt to the evolving demands of the 21st century and the fourth industrial revolution. Leading on from that first key area, the second focuses on creating Happy, Engaged, and Inquisitive Learners. GEMS FirstPoint School provides its learners with the courage and confidence to push and exceed traditional expectations. At the school, staff support the development of all aspects of a student to develop well- rounded individuals who will succeed in the world of work. As a result, these learners are inquisitive, innovative, creative, collaborative, critically receptive, and strong communicators. The third core area is that of being involved in Cutting-Edge Digital Innovation. GEMS FirstPoint School ensures that its learners have direct access to some of the biggest corporations in the world through the close partnerships they have developed. Learners are invited to be immersed in the most innovative technology, allowing them to enter employment as digital leaders from day one. The final two core areas, deliver on promises to give each student An Individualised Learning Journey, and Infinite Opportunities.
