Gems American Academy-Qatar (GAA), the first Gems Education school in Qatar, has welcomed its first intake of students. Students from Kindergarten to Grade 5 have now settled into the Al Wakrah-based school. 
Over the last month students have been engaged in a variety of activities ranging from student assemblies to after school activities. At back to school night all students performed a musical interlude by singing and playing instruments before their parents and then as Eid approached we recognized a very special celebration was organised. It involved the welcoming home of those friends returning from their Hajj. 
The after school activities are up and running too. Many activities appear to be favourites like Spanish Club, Cultural Dance, Lego Club, Choir, Robotics and Yoga. 
Micheal Wood, Principal of GAA, said he is honoured to welcome students to the first Gems school in the country.The Peninsula
