Re-enrollment 2026-2027
Dear Parents,
We hope you're well and safe.
We recognize that the current situation may be creating uncertainty for many families, and our thoughts are with our entire school community during this time. Please know that we are here to support you and your family in any way we can.
If you are able to do so, we would appreciate it if you could share your current intentions regarding re-enrolment for the next academic year. This will help us plan ahead and continue supporting all families as effectively as possible.
To allow additional time and flexibility, the re-enrolment window has been extended until April 30.
We would also like to reassure you that if you proceed with re-enrolment and your circumstances later change, requiring you to leave the UAE, GEMS will reimburse the re-enrolment fee.
If you have any questions or would like to speak with a member of the team, please do not hesitate to reach out

DAA Listens
At DAA we are committed to communicating effectively with our families. We believe that open communication between home and school is a vital component of our student’s success.
We are excited to continue our communication channel within our school community, DAA Listens. By scanning this QR code you will be able to share your compliments, comments or concerns directly with our Superintendent. There are 6 mailboxes located around the school, where students and parents can drop a postcard. Either method will ensure that our Superintendent will receive the communication and that a member of staff will be back in touch with you quickly.
Your voice is highly valued and we look forward to listening to your feedback as we collectively seek to enhance every student’s experience at our school.

The health and safety of our learning community is always our number one priority. Many of our students and families use the unpaved sand areas across the street to walk to their pick-up location or residence. These areas are not designated parking spaces or roadways, and therefore should remain clear. Driving through these areas creates a hazard for our community members and is subject to RTA regulations.
We encourage all of our community members to report any dangerous activity they see through the Dubai Police App. This reporting will help keep our entire learning community safe.
