The School:

Opening in 2011, GEMS Wellington Academy, Silicon Oasis (WSO) is a Premium British School located in a prestigious area of Dubai.

WSO has over 4000 students from FS1 to Y12; although WSO is large, it is effectively broken down into much smaller sections.

There are currently 2880 in the Primary School, which is at full capacity. The Secondary School has a current roll of 1366 with the KS3 years near to full capacity. Each School occupies its own building within the Campus.

The WSO focus is 'World Class - World Ready'; to support this, we have truly world-class and stunning facilities - a simply superb environment for the students to grow, learn and succeed.

Virtually all teaching staff are either British or Irish; they operate at a very high level of expectations in teaching and professional development.

We deliver British curriculum from the Foundation Stages through to Year 11. At post-16, we offer the IB, with pathways to study either the Diploma Programme or the Career-Related Programme. University success rates are high, with the (i)GCSE results easily exceeding UK averages.

WSO demonstrated exceptional levels of innovation both in technology and its pedagogy; therefore, some of the best practice from across the world is blended into our programme.

A significant emphasis is placed on the co-curricular programme; in particular, performing arts, sport and outdoor education.
