I legit wanted to send my kids here, only to find out that it closed. I had the best 2 years of my life and I never loved learning more than I did at this school.

As a student from GUS, Im VERY devastated that this school closed. Ive made many friends here and the teachers were so kind. The majority of teachers were always there to help me and there was always a delightful good morning that made my day. Our small school had a friendly community, where everyone knew each other and it was easy to make new friendships. The open campus was a great way to get some sunshine before walking to your next class. The location of the school in general, was close to my house and in an easy location. I never realized how amazing GUS was until it shut down and we were forced to find another school. Of course each school has their own defects and no school will EVER be perfect, but GUS definitely has a special place in my heart. AND imagine how many people lost their job, friendships, etc. because of the closing of this school. I hope Gems reconsiders opening it again.

I used to not like this school and i miss it so much cause of the teachers and i used to play basketball all the time with my friends, it was so much fun. The campus was very small and compact and had a nice soccer pitch in the middle. Great school. Shamed it closed down.

When we moved in Dubai we did all the visiting of the schools with different curriculum. It was overwhelming and, like most of the people moving here, we were looking for a good school that could be also a happy place for our kids moving in the middle of the year.When we entered this school I felt welcomed. It is a small school unlike most school in Dubai, and that is why you feel at home.Lots of green, everybody say Hi, amazing classes with lots of natural light and a class ratio of 10:1.Academically very good and with important accreditations. Especially if youre looking in higher grades there are a lot of PA available.Customized teaching that is very important for me.My kids are in elementary and Middle School.

I find the school to have many qualities. Most of all however, my 12 yr old son is happy to go every day....this alone says a lot. The school has grown a lot in the past years and we, as parents, recognize and appreciate the quality of the staff and the teachers. Good job!!

Students got called out for a fire drill just to check uniform. Last year we all had school spirit, had fun activities and the previous head master supported us all. This year the cystic fibrosis cancer awareness day was cancelled, haloween was also cancelled. If people wear skirts that are slightly too short we get our skirts pulled down and get unfair punishments. There’s no longer any school spirit.

This school has probably the most beautiful campus in Dubai with low-rise facilities, plenty of greenery and open spaces. It is a smaller school as compared to other GEMS schools but has a friendly atmosphere and cozy environment. Sadly, GEMS United has closed down and this school is now empty.

My kids have been at Bradenton Prep for 4 years and we absolutely love it! It is a small school with a strong community feel. The location is extremely convenient making drop off and pick up a breeze.

We have had our 3 swedish boys at GUS for 7 years. They have all loved the school and have grown up to be independent and top performing young adults.We can really recommend GUS to anyone who wants to find an American school in Dubai.

As a former student of BPA. This schools education and teachers are in question. But every passing year it does get better and better. The students at this school are the best you will probably ever meet in school. Getting grades and passing classes are very easy and its a fun atmosphere. If you wanna have fun at an easy school, this is the school for you. Education, books and teachers 6/10. Students and people 10/10. Facilities 8/10. Safety 10/10. Activities, field trips and after school activities 9/10.

Initially we enrolled at GEMS United (formerly BPA) because we were waitlisted for the 2 big American schools here. Mid year we got seats for both kids at both of the large schools. We turned them down because we absolutely LOVE this school. Great programs, wonderful teachers, and an inclusive community that can’t be found at any other school in Dubai. The school prepares the students for the rigors of college academics without destroying their love of learning. (Our oldest is a graduate and is currently attending a tier 1 university in the states.) Take a tour of the school and you will see for yourself!
