  1. GEMS World Academy – International School Singapore GEMS World Academy (Singapore) is a part of GEMS Education international school group. They provide a quality education all over the world to a thousand kids. Quality education means that learning opportunities are outstanding. If we look deeper in academic learning, we will found out that there are more things than the dry material. Children need a strong fundamental that will allow them to upgrade with new knowledge. In GEMS World Academy, we believe that strong fundamentals are formed by a strong set of values. That's why we consider them a part of the academic learning. Having the opportunity to see the development of our students, proves us that we have found a successful formula. GEMS Education is the father of GWA and it represents a global network of international schools in Singapore, Europe, Asia, North America, Africa, and the Middle-East.

Academic foundation includes IB curriculum which is The International Baccalaureate programme suitable for international students. This programme is developed for kids (Aged 3-5), Primary years (aged 6-10) and for students aged 11-17 years. In Early years programme there is something called Parent engagement programme, because some kids need more time to adapt and their parents should work jointly with the school. The International Baccalaureate IB programme focuses on student's ability to learn and helps them to adapt faster. Adapting to a new environment, for every international student is extremely important because as soon as he manages to adapt, he will start to acquire knowledge easily.

While academic classes are putting knowledge in some limits, art classes are opening these limits and children are free to express themselves. Specialists will educate your children in music, visual arts, and drama. Fundamental skills are developed and every child is free to choose what kind of art is his favorite. Teachers can easily spot if some kid has a talent for some art and to encourage him to develop it further.
