Al Khaleej National School
Al Khaleej National School believe that a great school is one which is concerned with all aspects of a student’s growth – academic, intellectual, creative, social, physical and emotional. Theit values-based education teaches our students to celebrate diversity in a spirit of understanding and tolerance, something which the modern world is desperate for. They teach respect and compassion. Their schools have a conscience, they believe in giving. For every one child enrolled in a GEMS school one hundred underprivileged children will be impacted. Former US President, Bill Clinton is the Honorary Chairman of their Foundation.
