What Sets This School Apart
GEMS World Academy (Singapore) is a part of GEMS Education’s global network of award-winning schools with access to thousands of students across four continents.
We are very fortunate to have students from all over the world. Our student population comprises more than 60 nationalities with no one dominant culture or background. Our Education leadership team, teachers and staff know every child and family.
Our students receive the International Baccalaureate® (IB) continuum of personalised education from Kindergarten to Grade 12. This creates a unique opportunity for a truly international learning perspective that will expand your child’s knowledge and broaden their experience with other cultures and beliefs.
A GEMS education empowers your child for a lifetime of learning and provides extensive exposure to a variety of subjects such as the arts, music, sports, design, technology and STEM, developing a range of competencies and dispositions that include skills for thinking, research, problem-solving, creativity and innovation.
The caring approach of our teachers, within a modern, child-focussed environment creates a safe home away from home for your child.
