Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 20 January 2025: The GEMS School of Research and Innovation (SRI), one of the world’s most prestigious and expensive educational institutions, is set to open its doors in Dubai Sports City in August 2025. Designed to redefine the education landscape, the school combines state-of-the-art facilities, innovative teaching methodologies, and small class sizes to offer a personalised learning experience.
Following the English National Curriculum, the school will limit class sizes to 16 students in early years and 20 in later grades, ensuring focused attention for each learner. Annual tuition fees will range from AED 116,000 to AED 206,000, placing it among the most premium educational offerings in Dubai. The expansive 47,600-square-metre campus will include cutting-edge facilities such as an elevated football field that doubles as a helipad, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, and purpose-built arts and music studios.
Students at SRI will benefit from a wide range of academic, sports, and arts programmes integrated with advanced technology to enhance learning. A standout feature of the school is its Disruption Lab and Research Centre, which will nurture entrepreneurial and innovative thinking. Partnerships with global institutions and industry leaders will provide students with practical, real-world experiences, preparing them for entry into top universities and successful careers.
The GEMS School of Research and Innovation aims to set a new global benchmark for education by blending robotics, artificial intelligence, and emerging technologies with values-based teaching. As a hub for educational research, the school is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of traditional learning while fostering creativity and critical thinking. A highly qualified teaching faculty, predominantly sourced from the UK, will lead the institution, ensuring the delivery of a rigorous and inspiring curriculum.
This milestone underscores Dubai’s commitment to advancing education and cultivating the next generation of global leaders.
