| Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
GEMS Wesgreen International School - Sharjah, established in 1991 in Sharjah, is a renowned educational institution. Accredited by the Council of International Schools, we offer a world-class education. WGP is divided into four sections: Early Years (FS1 to Year 1), Primary School (Year 2 to 6), Boys' and Girls' Secondary School (Year 7 to 13), and Administration. WGP aims to nurture well-rounded global citizens, providing them with a top-tier education. WGP's curriculum blends the Early Years Foundation Stages, British National Curriculum, and Cambridge programs. Students transition smoothly to Cambridge Secondary 1 (Year 7 to 9), and from Year 10 to 13, they follow the Cambridge IGCSE, AS, and A-level syllabi. |
| Teaching approach of the school |
Guided by the National Curriculum for England and Wales, WGP's approach emphasizes respect, responsibility, integrity, and inclusivity. From the Early Years Foundation Stage through to Year 13, students experience a learning environment that promotes democracy, individual liberty, mutual respect, and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs. WGP's pastoral practices, leadership structures, and enrichment programs reflect a distinctly British ethos, while embracing the cultural values and aspirations of the Emirates. Through assemblies, classroom discussions, extracurricular activities, and community engagement, WGP nurtures well-rounded global citizens who demonstrate strong moral character, social responsibility, and cultural awareness. |
