Vision International School is a gender-separate American-curriculum school committed to preparing students for the 21st century by providing an academic environment in which students learn how to collaboratively solve problems and learn independently. In addition, students learn to express themselves through the fine arts, athletics, and a wide range of activities and experiences designed to enrich their lives. We also seek to instill a sense of ethics, care and compassion for others.

The following qualities and characteristics define GEMS American Academy Qatar:
• ACCREDITATION: GEMS American Academy is a fully-accredited NEASC (New England Association of Schools and Colleges) school that is internationally recognized by colleges and universities around the world.
• PARENT SATISFACTION: Received highest parent satisfaction rating among K – 12 GEMS Education schools across their international network (2 years in a row)
• INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED: Garnered distinction as one of the “Top 10 Best International Schools in Qatar” as well as the “Most Valuable School to Watch in the Middle East” by American magazine - The Knowledge Review.
• DIVERSITY: Home to 78 student nationalities and 19 teacher nationalities (educators mostly recruited from the United States and Canada).
• ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY: Recipients of Qatar Green Building Council (QGBC) “School Sustainability” award as well as just the 3rd Qatar school to receive the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) Eco- Schools Green Flag Award. GAAQ is the only school in Qatar with a NAAAS-certified aquaponic greenhouse.
• FLEXIBLE EDUCATION: The big difference with the American curriculum, in comparison with the British education system and CBSE (India) is that students in an American school do not experience the immense pressure of a comprehensive singular final exam. Therefore, students have less stress around the academics and have a large opportunity to pace themselves comfortably in order to progress more dynamically throughout the semester.
• COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY PLACEMENT: Parents and students work with a professional school counselor to guide them throughout the college application process to colleges and universities around the world. Thus, parents and students feel less pressure as they have a trusted point-of-contact for advice and questions along the way.
• FUN, SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT: GAAQ scholars LOVE to come to school! Students wear uniforms, but have an opportunity to show school spirit each month through themed spirit days that range from crazy sock day to favorite sports jersey day. In addition, students and staff celebrate other notable days like Earth Day and United Nations Day that require dress down days. Lastly, the staff is professional, accessible and easy to get along with.

Our students are exceptionally focused on academics, as this is a college preparatory school. The environment is safe and, as diverse as its culture may be, the overall wellbeing of every student is the priority of our staff. At least 85% of students re-enroll each year.

Our school is a learning focused school. ASD is a school where the feel of community is real, where students learn and develop in a safe, nurturing, creative atmosphere; where dedicated educators teach in a professional manner; and where administrators realize that caring is as important to the heart, as knowledge is to the mind.
