Page 94 - GEMS EDUCATION PR REPORT - JULY 2025

At the heart of GSM is its proprietary ASPIRE model – a ‘school-in-a-box’ framework developed by
leading educators across GEMS’ global network.
ASPIRE empowers partners to quickly deploy fit-for-purpose schools – be they British, American,
International Baccalaureate (IB), Indian or local curriculum – that meet the highest international
standards while reflecting community needs.
Each model includes curriculum plans, architectural guidance, recruitment and training,
technology infrastructure, and hundreds of pre-developed operational systems and processes.
GSM is designed to take the complexity out of launching or elevating a school for its customers.
From safeguarding protocols and inclusive education practices to data systems, marketing
strategies, and timetable frameworks, GSM provides every element required to open a high-quality
school – even within a 12-month timeframe.
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.
