![]() The Secondary School provides more Music rooms, a Black Box Theatre (a hub for Secondary drama) a “Writing Centre” (a dedicated space both for students to improve their writing skills and to independently study in peace. Elementary children have their own (vast) library (clearly well thought out and, with a much softer feel than its main counterpart, inspirational for its targeted younger age group) and dedicated KG Play Area Music Suite, (very well equipped) Music Technology room (Garage Band software), Green Screen room for Media studies, recording studio, Film editing Suite and Sports facilities ranging from a Skate Park to the spectrum of ball courts. We liked too the cluster of facilities across main school phases. If you were to design a school around an ideal, dream list of facilities GWA would probably top many parents’ (and children’s) list of the perfect school.

There is a truly International demographic – and one celebrated by the school in the multitude of flags grouped in the Lobby Area on entering the school. No single nationality represents more than 10% of the 2,000 or so students at the school with children from the US, India and the UK represented most significantly. Some 93 nationalities are represented within the school, making it one of the most demographically diverse and truly international schools in the emirate – which perhaps befits its IB curriculum. This is an extremely welcome development and something that we believe is a critical element of IB post-16 schooling in order that schools can meet the broadest needs, potential and ambition of its children. Impressively the school now also offers the BTEC founded alternative International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme (IB CP). GWA offers an all-through IB education from the Primary Years Program, through Middle Years Program to the full Diploma Program for students aged between 3 and 18 years.
