Curriculum

Offering a world-class education founded on an elaborated National Curriculum for England (NCfE).

GEMS Westminster School, Sharjah adheres to the English National Curriculum, which is a standardised curriculum followed by thousands of British schools around the world. Teaching and learning is enquiry-based, with an emphasis on problem solving, and aims to build up students' abilities as learners. As in all GEMS Education schools, work takes place both individually and in groups in order to meet the needs of each child. This ensures that they are able to be independent, self-confident, inquiring and life-long learners.

When a child leaves our school, he or she will have several years’ experience of academic, sporting, dramatic, artistic, musical and personal growth to look back on. GEMS Westminster School offers an extraordinarily wide array of options for students to expand their knowledge, with the core curriculum being enhanced by broad offerings in technology, sports, and in the visual and performing arts. This wide portfolio of opportunities encourages our students to make thoughtful choices, whilst understanding and applying quantitative reasoning and analytical thinking.
