CULTURE &
VALUES
At GEMS Al Barsha National School, our culture and values are deeply rooted in Emirati heritage and national identity. We are committed to fostering an environment where students embrace their cultural heritage while achieving academic excellence and personal growth.
Our school ethos of HAWIATEE (Hardworking, Ambition, Wellbeing, Innovation, Agility, Trust, Empathy, Excellence) serves as the foundation upon which our students' growth and success are built. These values are integrated into every aspect of our curriculum and school life.
We celebrate Emirati culture through various activities and events that highlight the rich traditions and history of the UAE. Our students participate in cultural festivals, heritage days, and community projects that promote understanding and appreciation of Emirati values. Additionally, our curriculum includes Arabic language and literature, ensuring that students develop a deep connection to their cultural roots while excelling academically.
DUAL LANGUAGE
Programme
Our Foundation Stage Dual Language Programme provides a unique opportunity for students to learn in both Arabic and English. With native English-speaking teachers and Arabic-speaking assistants and teachers, students naturally develop bilingual skills through informal conversations and planned activities. This immersive approach fosters confidence and academic readiness, ensuring that students are well prepared for their future education.
Our dual language lessons seamlessly transition between Arabic and English, creating an environment where both languages become a natural part of the students' daily experience. Additionally, specific English and Arabic phonics lessons are taught to support language development. This innovative programme not only enhances linguistic abilities but also promotes cultural awareness and appreciation.
At GNS, we believe that bilingualism is an asset, and our Dual Language Programme is designed to cultivate true biliteracy, empowering students to thrive in an interconnected world.
