GEMS Education at the London Business Briefing: Supporting Families Relocating to the UAE

GEMS Education recently participated in the Business Briefing Event in London hosted by the British Chamber of Commerce Dubai: Doing Business in Dubai and the Northern Emirates.

 

Representing GEMS School of Research & Innovation, Founding Principal & CEO James Monaghan joined the Liveability panel to discuss one of the most important factors for relocating families: education. James shared how parents’ biggest priority is confidence - knowing their children will thrive in a school environment that combines the familiarity of a British curriculum with forward-thinking, research-led innovation. Conversations throughout the day also explored:

  • How families can transition smoothly into the UAE school system
  • What “future-ready” learning looks like in practice
  • How students build critical skills through inquiry, innovation, and real-world application

With strong attendance and highly engaged discussions, the briefing provided a valuable platform for GEMS to connect directly with families considering the UAE as their next home and to share how our approach supports both academic excellence and holistic student development.
