Welcome to SRI

Dear Parents,

It is a pleasure to welcome you to GEMS School of Research and Innovation.

As Executive Vice President/CEO - Education, I feel incredibly proud to support a school that is bringing together academic excellence, innovation and wellbeing in such a purposeful and exciting way. Throughout my almost three decades in educational leadership, I have always believed that exceptional schools are defined not only by academic success, but by the ambition of their vision and the strength of their leadership - both of which are evident at SRI.
