GEMS PARENTS
Every GEMS parent has something to offer in supporting their child’s learning
For Parent Engagement we follow our research-based 3-a-day approach at GEMS International School Gurgaon. At GEMS schools we value our parent's contribution to their child. Let us tell you about our 3 a day parent engagement program. Every GEMS school is unique, yet every school we run is committed to working closely with you, the parents. Your children may be the most important people we work with, but it’s you who make their education a true success.
All over the UAE and beyond, our schools are inviting parents into the classroom, getting you involved in both teaching and learning. Working with so many diverse cultures and communities means that we have a whole world of mums, dads, guardians and carers to draw on for expertise and support. We love to make use of your amazing resources. That’s why we regularly run carefully developed parental engagement and parental involvement activities and events in our schools.
Parental involvement
Bake sales, charity fundraisers, cultural activities, reading time – there are so many ways for you to get involved in your child’s education at your GEMS school.Getting hands-on doesn’t just show your support for your child, it’s also a brilliant way to get involved in school life; meeting GEMS teachers, talking to other GEMS parents and finding out what your student’s classmates are up to.
Thanks to the involvement of GEMS families, our schools are lively hubs in their local communities. Read some of our school stories to see some of the ways GEMS families get involved!
Parental engagement
There’s more to getting involved in your child’s education than helping with school events. If you want to make sure your child keeps learning even after they’ve left the school gates, we’re proud promoters of strong parental engagement.
Parental engagement is a little different to parental involvement. It’s all about taking learning out of the classroom and keeping it going at home.
International research shows that parents who are actively engaged in their child’s learning can give them an extra two to three years worth of schooling on top of their classroom experience. And it’s not all about academic success either. In fact, good parental engagement can help your child learn even better social skills, an essential accomplishment for the future.
Every parent, regardless of culture, language or experience, has something special to offer their child. Engaged parents value education. They are strong role models of learning. All it takes is a 3-a-day approach:
- Talk about learning
- Share learning
- Encourage learning

What does the research say?Research has shown that the single biggest reason a child does well at school is the support of parents who take a real, active and consistent interest in their child’s education at home. The research suggests that a parent who is actively and consistently engaged in their child’s learning can add the equivalent of two to three years of additional education over their school career. This is precisely why we’re so keen to promote the importance of parental engagement.
Every parent has something to offer
Conversation is at the heart of positive parental engagement. It’s not necessarily about sitting with your child and helping them with their homework. Every parent, regardless of their culture, language or experience, can talk to their child and show an interest in their learning. By asking questions, listening and encouraging your child with praise and direction, you can reinforce learning and become an active partner in the educational process. It can be as easy as 3-a-day.
Our students learn the lessons of life from the best teacher – YOU.
It is our constant endeavour to facilitate your role as a parent. Our aim is to help your child stay motivated earn higher grades, add years to his or her learning, have better social skills and be a responsible citizen.
This relationship between you, your child and us, forms the core of our Parental Engagement Programme.
