GEMS story began in 1959, when two passionate teachers – KS and Mariamma Varkey – left Kerala, India for the United Arab Emirates in search of a better life for their young family. Leaving everything they knew behind, it was a plunge into the unknown, where the risks were great, but the opportunities greater.
With more and more families arriving in Dubai from across the world with children in tow, what the Varkeys found in their new home was a growing need for quality English-language education. Immediately, they got to work teaching both expats and locals, initially from their very own home. It was a modest start, but little did they know that their one small school would grow into a network spanning the globe. In 1968, KS and Mariamma opened Our Own English High School, Dubai – a school that is still going strong today. Then, in 1980, their son Sunny Varkey added a visionary’s touch to his parents’ practical experience, setting in motion a string of new school openings across the Emirates in the years that followed.
From humble beginnings rooted in a family of teachers, GEMS Education has today become a truly international organisation and the largest private K-12 education provider in the world.
Values-led Education
What’s an education if it doesn’t teach fundamental human values? Values that, in the words of GEMS Founder Sunny Varkey, “will guide students through life”, allowing them to live happy, fulfilling and meaningful lives and have a positive impact on society and the world.
At GEMS, we believe strongly in a values-led education. We think it’s an essential part of preparing our students for life both in school and beyond it, which is why we’re always looking to give them opportunities to grow and develop their personal and interpersonal qualities.
What do we mean when we talk of values? That’s easy. It’s everything that’s good in the world – the qualities of kindness, respect, empathy, helpfulness and compassion. Not only towards immediate family and friends, but also to the wider community.
As individual schools, as a family of schools and as an organisation, we are led by our GEMS Core Values of Care, Excellence, One Team, and Always Learning. These are at the heart of everything we do and what unite us in a common cause. For our students, these same Core Values have equal meaning, grounding their education, guiding their learning and uniting each student with their peers.
Careers
GEMS look for passionate, expert and forward thinking professionals to join continuously expanding company. Successful candidates will have showcased their capabilities through a range of suitable selection activities, such as interviews, assessment centers or teaching samples in class.
Working at GEMS Education is not just a job, it’s a career which offers the opportunity to grow within the company on a global scale.
