Welcome to GFM Primary

It is a real privilege to introduce myself as the new Head of Primary at GEMS Founders School Al Mizhar. I am thrilled to be joining such a vibrant, diverse, and inclusive community where every child is truly valued and encouraged to reach their full potential.

With over 4,800 students in our care, we take great pride in celebrating the unique backgrounds, talents, and aspirations of each individual. Whether your child is just beginning their learning journey in FS or preparing for the next stage of their education, we are committed to supporting them every step of the way.

Our core values (Growth, Flourishing, and Mindfulness) are at the heart of all that we do. I believe that when children feel safe, inspired, and challenged, they can achieve amazing things. Alongside our dedicated team of passionate educators, I am committed to creating a culture of high expectations, creativity, and compassion.

As I begin this exciting new chapter, I’d like to share a belief that guides me every day:
"When we nurture a child’s confidence and curiosity, we give them the tools not just to succeed, but to truly thrive."

I look forward to working in close partnership with our families as we nurture confident, curious, and capable learners. I warmly invite you to explore our website and discover the exceptional opportunities that await your child here at GEMS Founders School Al Mizhar.
