At GEMS International School – Soma Bay (GISS), we believe that lasting learning is rooted in doing, not just knowing. Our skills-based approach ensures that students develop the tools they need to thrive in school—and in life. Across every grade level, from Pre-K through high school, learners engage in experiences that build essential skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, communication, and self-management.

At GISS, we are committed to nurturing globally minded students through a rich and immersive trilingual education. Our language program is thoughtfully designed to position English as the first language, German as the second, and Arabic as the third, creating a learning environment where linguistic proficiency goes hand in hand with cultural understanding.

Innovation is at the heart of learning at GISS. We ensure that students are not only equipped to navigate the complexities of a rapidly evolving world but also to lead within it.
Through immersive VR and AR technologies, learners engage in interactive simulations that deepen understanding, stimulate inquiry, and bridge theoretical concepts with real-world application.

We believe that diversity is not just part of who we are; it is one of our greatest strengths. Nestled in the heart of Somabay, our school welcomes both Egyptian nationals and expatriate families from around the world, creating a vibrant, inclusive community that reflects a true global village. Our student body represents a wide range of nationalities, languages, and cultural traditions.
