Welcome to GEMS United Indian School! GEMS United Indian School began as the well known Our Own English School, which opened in September, 1990. Following a restructure and the building of a new, state-of-the-art campus, we began enrolments in November 2015, for our school, re-named as GEMS United Indian School. GEMS United Indian School carries on the GEMS Education passion for delivering internationally comparable quality Indian education, built on our belief that the culture of education is to pass on the light of skill and knowledge, helping students expand their physical and intellectual horizons through value-based and value-added educational programmes. Our motto 'Lead Kindly Light’ encapsulates this belief. And today, our restructured school is regarded as one of the premier educational institutions in Abu Dhabi. Our school offers a Ministry of Education (MOE), UAE, approved Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) affiliated curriculum. Through this, GEMS United Indian School combines the best educational practices of today with the promises of tomorrow. We offer a premium, value-based education that instils 21st century skills. We take education beyond the primary stage of reading and writing, by taking it to the level of learning, unlearning, innovating and relearning. It is through this style that our students have proudly attained outstanding achievements in their CBSE examinations. A GEMS education is for every student.

1,550 new teachers. 10,000+ educators. 112 nationalities. One GEMS family. 🇦🇪

GEMS Awareness Day 2026 marked a significant moment for our global education community, bringing together our newest colleagues as they begin their journey with GEMS. It was a celebration of the scale, diversity and shared values that unite us and a meaningful welcome to the educators who will help shape the future of every child.

Ultimately, it is our people who make GEMS a family. Their passion, commitment and care are at the heart of everything we do. As we celebrate the Year of the Family, we are reminded that family comes first: supporting one another, celebrating our shared achievements and creating a community where everyone feels they belong.

A particularly powerful moment came when our Chairman and Founder, Sunny Varkey, called on GEMS teachers to stand and give a one-minute applause in recognition of the leadership of the UAE, a heartfelt expression of gratitude, respect and pride for the country we are privileged to call home.

Our strength is in our people, and in what we achieve when we come together as one GEMS family.

Family first. Shared values. One purpose. One GEMS. 🇦🇪👏



1,550 معلماً جديداً. أكثر من 10,000 معلم وقائد تربوي. 112 جنسية. عائلة جيمس تجمعنا.

شكّلت فعالية GEMS Awareness Day محطة مهمة لمجتمع جيمس التعليمي العالمي، حيث جمعت زملاءنا الجدد مع انطلاق مسيرتهم في جيمس، في احتفاء يجسّد حضور مجموعتنا العالمي وتنوعها وقيمها المشتركة، وترحيب بالمعلمين الذين سيكون لهم دور أساسي في رسم ملامح مستقبل كل طفل.

ويبقى أفراد مجتمعنا جوهر عائلة جيمس وأساس نجاحها، بما يحملونه من شغف والتزام واهتمام ينعكس في كل ما نقوم به. ومع احتفائنا بعام الأسرة، نؤكد من جديد أن العائلة أولاً؛ من خلال دعم بعضنا، والاحتفاء بإنجازاتنا المشتركة، وبناء مجتمع يشعر فيه الجميع بالانتماء.

ومن أبرز اللحظات المؤثرة خلال الفعالية، دعوة صني فاركي، مؤسس ورئيس مجلس إدارة جيمس للتعليم، معلمي جيمس إلى الوقوف والتصفيق لمدة دقيقة تقديراً لقيادة دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة، في لفتة عبّرت عن الامتنان والاحترام والفخر بالدولة التي نعتز بأن تكون وطناً لنا.

ولا تكمن قوتنا في اتساع حضورنا أو تنوعنا فحسب، بل في كوادرنا، وفيما نستطيع تحقيقه عندما نجتمع معاً كعائلة جيمس.

العائلة أولاً. قيم مشتركة. هدف واحد. مجموعة جيمس تجمعنا.
