Open House Day

Discover the best in American education - at a school where families are valued.

We're hosting our first Open House Morning of the new year on Monday 20 January at GEMS American Academy Qatar (GAAQ) so you can see first-hand the proof points of why we're known for our exceptional student and parent satisfaction ratings and for being a great place to learn.

Our Principal will take you on a guided tour so you can gain a better sense of our award-winning school, see our diverse student population of nearly 80 nationalities and witness the balance of learning and fun.

Our principals will review the top features and benefits of the American curriculum, discuss our elementary, middle school and high school academic offerings, overview our extra-curricular and after school activities and discuss how we focus intently on the holistic development of our students (academic, social, emotional, physical and cognitive learning).
 
11.20 – 11.50 am
Led by our principals, enjoy an extensive tour of our 20,000 square meter campus where you will see learning happening, in real time, inside and outside of the classroom. Please use this time to ask questions and to get your questions answered by our knowledgeable school leaders.
