GEMS AMERICAN ACADEMY PARENTS ASSOCIATION (GAAPA) 

MISSION STATEMENT 

An excellent and successful school depends on the healthy partnership between teachers, parents, students and the community. As the identified parent association, GAAPA’s mission is to work in collaboration with the school to encourage a sense of community through events and activities that enrich our children’s educational experience at GEMS American Academy. GAAPA will support, assist and cooperate in events aligned with the school program. GAAPA believes in fostering the tradition of kindness and caring that exists within the school. Within our vast community of learners, we would like to promote the notion of unity in diversity that promotes an acceptance of different cultures and people.

The GAA Booster Club is a parent volunteer organization that helps support our Secondary Athletics and Fine Arts departments, with the mission of providing fun and community building events for the students and families of GAA. Support is shown in many ways, including volunteering time, raising money and contributing funds to better enhance the team or organization’s performance. Booster Club is an important mean of connecting parents and other community members with the curricular and co-curricular activities of students.

In addition to supporting our students, we are members of the GAA Community and we work with other volunteer groups on campus to promote community as well as partnering with GAAPA for events throughout the year.

You can email us at: boosterteam_gaa@gemsedu.com for any questions or volunteer opportunities.

GAAPA will be selling gently used uniforms at the beginning of each new term. Please stay on the look-out for more details.

We present to you GAAPA Community Resource Guide, compiled with the help of our members, fellow GAA families. 

We understand the struggles each family faces when moving to a new country, new school, new residence, as we have all been through the same. It is only natural that we want to support each other as a Community.

This website is designed to provide that helpful information for all our community members. Your feedback and contribution will be highly appreciated to make sure that information is accurate and up-to-date. You can recommend your resource by clicking below link:
