GEMS to open international school in Sharjah community

GEMS Education will open a school in Nasma Residences, the fully self-sustained villa and townhouse community located in the heart of New Sharjah. The announcement was made by the developer Arada during the launch of Phase 3 of Nasma Residences, after experiencing strong sales in Phase 2 of the master planned project.

Phase 3 of Nasma Residences will incorporate an entirely new unit, the Three Bedroom Signature Villa. Other units on sale include two, three and four bedroom Townhouses and Semi-Detached Villas, and four and five bedroom detached Signature Villas.

HE Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed Al Qasimi, chairman of ARADA, said: "We're excited to launch Phase 3 of Nasma Residences, and to have started construction of our first project on schedule. Furthermore, the new GEMS school reinforces our commitment to providing a fully inclusive experience to every homeowner in Nasma Residences. Our vision is that every resident should be able to access best-in-class services, including a high-quality, international education for their children, all within a beautifully designed and landscaped community."

Dino Varkey, CEO of GEMS Education, said: "We're delighted to bring the very highest quality education to Nasma Residences, with a new affordable international school."

Spread over an area of 5 million sq. ft., Nasma Residences has been carefully planned to ensure a balance between living areas and community facilities. Keeping homeowners' comfort and convenience top of mind, Nasma Residences will be anchored by four community offerings: a 13-acre lushly landscaped park with cycling and jogging tracks and large play areas; a multi-purpose community centre with club house offering sports and recreation facilities; children's nursery and full-service medical clinic; the GEMS international school; and Nasma Square, a retail mall.
