There’s rich, and then there’s Dubai rich. It’s an unprecedented level of wealth that surrounds you from day one (even more if you’re born there). The gilded city, a modern-day utopia, is known for its incredible architecture, over-the-top venues, and omnipresent luxuries. But it’s not just a tourist’s paradise; even from a day-to-day perspective, there’s an abundance of wealth all around.
Case in point, the state-of-the-art Gems World Academy, an international school offering a superlative learning environment. With a student body representing over 92 nationalities and top-tier amenities such as a 3D Planetarium with a database of over 300,000 stars, a 600+ seat auditorium, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, a music recording studio, and even the exclusive FAB Gems World Credit Card, it’s one of Dubai’s poshest schools. Here, kindergarteners have access to iPads, and tuition fees can soar up to $33,000 by Grade 12.
The opulence extends beyond the bank-breaking tuition fees of one of the world’s largest private school operators. The FAB Gems World Credit Card offers exclusive school benefits, including nearly 5% off Gems school fees, and up to 10% cashback on bus, canteen, uniform purchases, and non-school activities. Lifestyle perks include a 20% discount at Emaar attractions, 30% off at IMG Worlds, and 2% cashback on other spending. The Gems World Credit Card requires a minimum monthly salary of AED 8,000 (around $2,200). If you spend AED 24,000 ($6,500) on non-educational purchases in the previous year, the AED 400 annual fee is waived.
Have you ever heard of a school offering such exclusive services? Perhaps this level of grandeur is only possible in Dubai. Gems World Academy, spanning 42,000 m² in Al Barsha South near Dubai Mall, sets a new standard for premium education institutes. Even Switzerland’s famed Institut Le Rosey pales in comparison.
