Extra Curricular Activities

The After School Activity (ASA) Programme is an integral part of GEMS Jumeirah Primary School and provides a rich variety of activities for children to participate in after the academic programme has finished.

In addition to the physical development and the exploration of interest, children learn the thrill of challenge and competition, the importance of concentration and dedication, the spirit of teamwork and a sense of accomplishment.
