Enrichment refers to activities beyond the core curriculum that enhance a child’s learning experience.
In a British curriculum school like GEMS FirstPoint, enrichment is integral to providing a holistic education.
These activities include sports, music, drama, coding, and STEAM clubs, allowing students to explore their interests and develop new skills. For example, a child may discover a passion for robotics during a coding workshop or build confidence through rock climbing.
Enrichment is vital because it complements academic learning. It helps children develop critical thinking, creativity, and teamwork—skills essential for success in the 21st century. Furthermore, it promotes wellbeing by providing opportunities for self-expression and relaxation outside the classroom.
At GEMS FirstPoint in Dubailand, enrichment is woven into everyday school life. Our British curriculum ensures every child benefits from a balanced education that goes beyond academics, nurturing well-rounded, confident individuals, allowing them to achieve their potential and find personal success.
