Welcome to GEMS Metropole Al Waha, where our focus is on nurturing future leaders. Our motto, "Nurturing Leadership," highlights the importance of providing a supportive and inclusive environment for students to grow and reach their full potential.
Our vision is to create a sustainable and inclusive community hub that nurtures tomorrow's leaders. Our mission is simple: to lead, nurture, and succeed. Our values of curiosity, confidence, creativity, respect, and kindness serve as the foundation for everything we do.
We strive to create an inclusive, engaging, and challenging learning experience that fosters curiosity, creativity, and leadership. Our Forest School and Junior School curriculums provide a strong foundation of curiosity and confidence, while also instilling a sense of care and respect for the world around us, as well as developing the personal discipline to master English, mathematics and science.
As students progress through our Prep and Futures Schools, they will be presented with a wide range of pathways and opportunities to explore. Our curriculum is designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge they need to further develop creativity and succeed in the 21st century. We aim to provide a well-rounded education that prepares our students not only for academic excellence, but for personal fulfillment and success in their chosen careers.
We believe that leadership skills are essential to every child's success, and these skills are woven throughout all of our curriculums. Our aim is to help students develop the skills they need to lead themselves and others to success, no matter where their passions and ambitions may take them.
At GEMS Metropole School – Al Waha, we believe that a strong partnership between home and school is essential to the success of our students. We are committed to working closely with you to provide a world-class education that meets your child's unique needs, and ensure that every child is given the opportunity to achieve their full potential.
At GEMS Metropole learners are enouraged to lead their own learning with teachers facilitating the process. Through this approach, learners will be provided with a range of learning opportunities that focus on the High Performance Learning Skills of Meta-thinking, Linking, Analysing, Creating and Realising and the High Performance Behaviours of Empathy, Agilty and Hard work.
We routinely provide students with learning in a real life context. Our Forest School in the Infants School enables us to meet learning objectives in an outdoor setting. “Forest School is known to improve a young person’s pedagogical development, their life skills and self-confidence.” Archimedes Forest School. Throughout the school students are provided with opportunities to develop social and leadership skills through teamwork, performing and problem solving activities.
At GEMS Metropole, we all believe innovation plays a crucial part in driving up the quality of teaching to even higher levels. The willingness to share and learn from each other is tangible and a key feature of our school. A visitor walking around would notice that classroom doors are open and that colleagues regularly take the opportunity to observe each other to learn best practice and reflect on their own pedagogy.

Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
I love this school, my daughter is a bit shy and needs time to warm up and talk, I visited so many schools that gave me hard time and were so difficult to deal with, I was so desperate and decided to give this school a chance, and I’m happy I did, they are so understanding, my daughter is in FS2 and she’s very happy with Ms.Edmonds, She’s happy to go to school every day, they are so organized, clean and friendly, and I highly recommend it to any parents looking for a new school to their kids

Transferred my child from SABIS to Metropole. Incomparable experience, amazing approach to students, they spend much time outdoor, taking care of the farm (with farm animals and plants), 2-3 times a week PE + free sport activity. My son is more than happy.
