Yesterday, we were delighted to welcome our new families to the Academy! 💙

Our Principal & CEO, Sarah O’Regan, shared the WSO vision of Unity, Integrity and Aspiration — a journey for every child to become world-class and world-ready. 🌍✨

A special thank you to our Student Leaders, who shared their own journeys and experiences through to Year 13, giving our new families a wonderful insight into life at WSO.

Celebrating an outstanding achievement for our WSO students.

Our Vice Principal, Hannah Walby shares her pride in our students’ exceptional PISA 2025 results, reflecting their hard work, curiosity and commitment to learning across Science, Mathematics and Reading.

A proud moment for our students, teachers and the entire WSO community.

The foundations for a lifetime of learning begin with the smallest moments.

In Nursery and Early Years at WSO, children are encouraged to be curious, communicate with confidence, work together, solve problems and develop independence through purposeful play and discovery.

These early experiences build more than knowledge. They nurture the resilience, creativity, empathy and confidence children need to thrive as they grow.

Because every big future begins with strong foundations.

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.
