Early Learning

Overview

Early Learning at GEMS

Our Early Learning program encompasses the first few years of the IB Primary Years Program (PYP) and unlocks the innate curiosity and imagination of our learners, placing them firmly on the path toward becoming principled and knowledgeable global citizens.

at a glance

Self-Directed

Our program is designed for students to be self-directed in their learning. They become problem solvers that are learning academic, social, and behavioral skills to use them to develop solutions.

Room for Exploration

In our program, students explore a variety of concepts and content and learn that there is no one single way to do things. We want our Early Learners to grow comfortable expressing themselves and see that learning happens everywhere, not just at school
