In Jordan, GEMS has entered into an alliance with the Aqaba Development Corporation of Jordan to open Aqaba International School that will provide high quality international education in and around Aqaba free trade zone. Hugh MacPherson, COO of GEMS, said, 'GEMS is delighted to be chosen as 'best in class' education provider for this exciting and innovative project'. This is first of the many schools that GEMS will manage in Jordan.

The school will combine high standards of teaching and learning with premium facilities and activities for children to develop all aspects of their potential. 'This is a parallel step for GEMS as we make our entry into Libya's promising education industry' said MacPherson.
'GEMS has already established itself as a leading provider of quality education in the UK and Middle East. We are going a step further by providing world class education in Libya & Jordan. Our prime aim is to provide education to suit the requirements of the student-parent community in these countries by adhering to their culture and values', adds MacPherson.
The schools in Libya and Jordan will offer the National Curriculum of England and the International Baccalaureate Diploma. Initially, the schools will function up to Year six and seven respectively and then eventually up to Year 13.
