Dubai Gem was founded in 1973 on a small block and was known as Dubai Nursery School and Crèche. It began with about twenty students, the oldest being five and the youngest only a month old. Every million mile long journey begins with one tiny footstep. Hard work and dedication have resulted in the growth of Dubai Gem. Now in every corridor, every classroom, at every table, sits a student, hopeful and ambitious about his or her future. Many students regard Dubai Gem as another home where people care about their future and give them encouragement and support. Dubai Gem is well known for being organized with all grades, from FS1 to Year 13, having gifted, goal-driven students abounding with imagination and hope. Although Dubai Gem is renowned for its focus on academic studies, sport is very popular and appreciated amongst the students. The Annual Sports day brings out the energetic and competitive spirit in all students.
