Principal’s Message
Your child is a very special individual who needs a happy, secure and challenging environment in which to grow. A child’s natural curiosity to explore his/her world gives teachers the basis on which to build learning experiences that will provide a solid foundation for the early years of schooling. Gems Smart Education System recognises the importance of these early years of schooling. For parents, it is vital that your child receives an excellent start to schooling in a friendly, caring and family atmosphere. Gems provides this environment – our motto is –
A Caring Community School. We aim to meet the challenge of specific educational outcome goals for students as well as developing creative, resilient, independent, flexible and socially adept young people.
A Gems School which aims to develop well adjusted individuals who strive to achieve their full potential in a dynamic, caring and supportive environment.

At Gems School, there is an active partnership between school, home and community. We believe each child receives the care, attention and opportunities which will help them learn, broaden their experiences and develop the self-confidence they need to grow into successful young adults in the twenty first century.
Getting children into school is one thing, educating them is quite another. The former may be easier but the latter task is quite daunting nowadays. These are sensitive times and maintaining a balance between quality education and character building aligned with our religion is no easy feat. We at The Intellect strive to our best to do exactly that. At the Intellect, we believe that the role of a school is not only to enable academic excellence, but also to motivate and empower its students to be lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and productive members of an ever-changing global society. As Muslims, this also includes the importance of trust, respect, innovation, and a sense of belonging to the Muslim Ummah

Chief Executive’s Message
Welcome to The Gems School – a great place to learn. It is both an exciting and challenging time as we all continue this educational journey together. If you are considering Gems – Dhirkot as a community in which you would like your children to be part then the information included in this website will convince you why we believe that Gems can provide the best education possible for you. An education at Gems values commitment, balance, conviction and service. We believe that a first class education is characterized by what resources, values, capacities and passions a young person can take with them to be a valuable, active, caring participant citizen who is having a positive impact upon their community. Our innovative and progressive curriculum constantly challenges students to extend their learning. Our aim is to challenge students to be the very best that they can be. The skills needed for the 21st century, which support a love of learning that goes beyond the classroom, are actively embraced by our school. An education here is based upon critical thinking, creativity, challenge, compassion and contemplation. Critical thinking is the education of the intellect where understanding, problem solving, sound judgment and constructive criticism are developed in our students. Creativity or education of the imagination provides the ability to make connections and experience the world in different ways. Challenge, education of the will, develops mental and physical courage and the ability to overcome one’s fears and limitations. Compassion is the education of the emotions and is critical in developing ability not only in identifying with other people but also a willingness to take action in order to help them. The final element of Contemplation is the education of the spirit which develops in a young person the capacity for wonder and a sense that one is part of something larger than one’s self. However, just as our inquiry-based approach to learning requires students to be active participants in their own education, we expect parents to be engaged in the learning process as well. We strongly believe that education is a partnership between home and school and through effective communication endeavor to keep parents fully informed and engaged in their child’s progress and welcome feedback through the various avenues that we provide. If you have not yet been convinced that Gems is the right place for you and your family I would encourage you to visit us personally. Then you will experience the real difference of Gems which is the very tangible sense of community that exists here at the school. We want our students, parents, staff and visitors to feel welcome and as though they have always belonged on our campus. Fostering this sense of belonging and culture of kindness comes from hiring, training and retaining the right mix of people who are extremely talented at what they do and are committed to developing a positive school climate; one that helps everyone make the most of our programs. I look forward to welcoming you to Gems!
