SUPERINTENDENT'S PERSPECTIVE
One billion meals
The education community in Dubai is known for its generosity and its willingness to come together to help others. This Ramadan, as part of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, the UAE has set a goal of donating one billion meals to people in 50 countries.
Dubai American Academy is proud to support this inspiring initiative, and in the giving spirit of Ramadan, invites our entire learning community to join in!

ESM Activities
gems for life
GEMS Education truly believes in fostering a life-time of opportunities. Our students enjoy access to the best education, opportunities and guidance at school. But why should the support stop there? With GEMS For Life, it doesn't.
The GEMS for Life program will help deliver on this commitment and expand on our world-class support beyond education to all aspects of life for all members of the GEMS community – past, present and future.
The below website showcases the vision for the program, as well as the 360-degree services being offered to support university transition, careers, alumni and everything in-between:
This is where the GEMS for Life journey begins – and we look forward to giving families and students of GEMS a world of lifelong advantages and lifestyle benefits that are unparalleled.
