Partners benefit from GEMS’ ability to recruit top-tier educators, deliver staff training, and
provide digital systems that support teaching, learning, and parent engagement.

Robert Tarn CBE, Managing Director of GEMS School Management, said at the global
launch of GSM: “We’re working with partners who want more than just good schools – they
want schools that set benchmarks. GSM brings the full force of the GEMS ecosystem to the
table – from outstanding educators and global best practice to fully costed, turnkey models.

“Whether you’re a government, a developer, or a school group seeking to scale or improve
outcomes, we are ready to help you deliver.”

He added: “Our partners often have the vision, the site, and the capital – what they need is
deep educational expertise. That’s where GSM comes in. We’ve done the thinking, built the
model, and can be ready to open a high-impact school – with the right team, systems and
students – in as little as 12 months.”

Crucially, GSM is designed for flexibility. Partners can select from multiple curriculum-aligned
models – from premium British or American schools to mid-market Indian or IB schools – each
customisable to the social, regulatory, and financial landscape of the location.

In addition to new builds, GSM also offers bespoke enhancement contracts for existing
schools and systems, helping them scale, improve, and benefit from GEMS’ economies of
scale and procurement advantages.

Sunny Varkey, Chairman and Founder of GEMS Education, said: “Every child deserves
access to world-class education, no matter where they are. GSM is how we share our legacy,
our expertise, and our belief in education’s power to change lives with partners who share our
vision. Together, we will build schools that shape not only futures, but nations.”

From premium schools in capital cities to affordable community schools in under-served areas,
GSM offers adaptable models and tailored contracts that meet specific regulatory, cultural,
and educational goals.
