Fostering values, having fun, staying active & nailing homework!
At GEM Academy, we understand the busy lives of parents and the importance of providing kids aged 5-12 with enriching experiences after school in a safe environment that promote strong values.
Our program delicately blends education, recreation, and character development in a secure and nurturing environment.
Building confidence & character
With our After-School Program, parents can confidently reclaim their time, knowing their kids, aged 5 to 12, are not just having a great time but are being mentored by well grounded tutors who have strong values resulting in kids who are hyper-confident, critical thinkers and future leaders. We treat your child as if they are our own and focus on helping them flourish academically, socially, and personally.
After-School Activities
Just like the sounds of kids laughing and playing signify learning, our after-school program encourages your child to explore, create, and make new friends in a supportive atmosphere.
Homework help
Our Homework Help is designed to assist your child in completing their assignments, reinforcing their learning, and establishing good study habits. Our caring staff is here to provide guidance and support to ensure your child's academic success.
Ancillary programs
Expand your child's horizons with our Ancillary Programs, where they can explore a variety of enriching activities. From chess to cooking and crafting, as well as world language classes, your child can discover new passions and talents while having a great time.
Sports & play
We actively engage your child in a wide range of sports and play activities, from soccer and basketball to badminton and more. They'll learn to work in teams, set goals, face challenges, and celebrate achievements, all while fostering a love for an active lifestyle.
