The boarding school, which promises to boast of ‘fantastic facilities’ is still in the planning stage, David Morrison, Executive Principal and CEO of Education Infrastructure at the Gems network of schools, told Khaleej Times.

“This is a terrific way of maximising our resources. Also, children from all Gems schools can mix and interact with each other. We have already started acquiring land in Dubai for this,” he said. The education giant also plans to roll out its ‘Westminster model’ of schools across the UAE and the world.

The Westminster model would be based on the existing Westminster School in Dubai and the brand of schools would follow the same curriculum, pricing and ethos.
