Staff at GEMS Academy Alexandria are committed to our vision. One of value, trust and consultation. Professional relationships are based on giving and receiving effective, constructive and positive feedback.  We value the skills and experience of all staff.
Staff are chosen for their ability and commitment to create learning environments that foster excellence.  They have a passion for education and an ability to communicate effectively.  Through our on-going investment in the professional development of our staff, we provide curricula and effective teaching that is tailored to the specific needs of our students.  Within the context of ‘Life Long Learning’ Literacy and Numeracy skills are priorities and are integrated throughout the school curriculum.
All our class teachers are native qualified teachers with at least three years of teaching experience.
All of our classrooms provide students with an environment which enables them to learn in comfort as well as offering them access to new technological approaches to learning.  In an ever evolving technological world, interactive whiteboards are no longer enough to appeal to young minds.  Throughout all of our school classes, all children have access to e-learning via both interactive whiteboards and interactive educational tablets.  Students also have access to our ICT suite, during our ICT lessons we not only focus on the ICT skills required to be a 21st century citizen but we also promote internet safety which is vital in today’s society.
Throughout all stages of education we actively encourage independent reading.  Aside from curricula demands, we want our students to enjoy reading for pleasure.  Our library houses a variety of books for both academic purposes and for pleasure and via our borrowing scheme, we are more than happy to allow the children to take books to read in their spare time, to allow them time during breaks to read at leisure as well as offering an extra-curricular reading lesson where children develop their reading skills but also develop their passion to share their stories with others.
