ABOUT US
Since it was opened in 2008, the Academy has established itself as an international academy for young world citizens, where students benefit from an education that reaches beyond any single national curriculum.
With over 2,100 students representing over 100 nationalities, our multicultural community allows us to develop an understanding of what makes people different, whilst celebrating our similarities within an increasingly connected world.
There are nearly 250 students in the Senior School, all of whom study the IB Diploma Programme, the IB Courses, or the IB Career-related Programme. Alongside these qualifications, students also graduate with a CIS and NEASC accredited High School Diploma. All programmes on offer have their merits, and the best of these programmes is the one which best matches students’ individual approaches to learning, and what they individually want to achieve from their next two years of study.
GWA was judged Very Good by KHDA in 2018, and over the past 5 years the results have continued to increase by almost one IB point every academic year. In addition to our 34 point average, GWA has a 100% pass rate with over 90% of our students attending their number 1 or number 2 choice university.
At GWA, we believe that the IB programmes offer students “the knowledge, skills and character necessary to take action and create a better, more peaceful world”. To fuel our mission, we strive to ensure every student leaves us a well-rounded young person with exceptional results.
Our ethos is student-centred and offers personalised learning for every student in a safe and respectful environment. All staff and students are expected to subscribe to our GENIUS values:
Grounded
Entrepreneurial
Nurturing
Innovative
Unique
Sophisticated
Within our state-of-the-art, 21st century learning environment, each and every student participates in their educational journey as an active learner, embracing the opportunities and experiences facilitated by our multi-cultural, multi-lingual international staff of passionate educators.
