Notes on the data

Names, cities, areas, websites and curricula now taken from the official finder (replaces slug-derived names of task 13). The finder has only three country filters (UAE, Qatar, Egypt); no school outside those three is listed, so GEMS schools elsewhere (the group says it has schools in Asia, Europe and North America) are not on the official list and are not included. Listed: 54 (UAE 47: Dubai 31, Abu Dhabi 7, Al Ain 1, Sharjah 6, Ras Al Khaimah 1, Fujairah 1; Qatar 2 (Doha); Egypt 5 (Cairo)). Homepage still states 52 schools (older figure); company page states 200,000 students. Three entries are not GEMS-branded (New Dubai Nursery, Madinaty Integrated Language Schools, Madinaty Language School) but appear on the GEMS finder. Owner not stated (null); HQ city not stated (company says it was founded in the UAE); founder Sunny Varkey. | 2026-11-04 확인[owner]: 2024-06-18 공식 발표는 CVC 컨소시엄 보유지분 대부분을 Brookfield 주도 컨소시엄에 매각하는 조건부 계약을 설명한다. GEMS 전체의 과반지분 매각을 뜻하지 않으며 현재 전체 주주·지분율은 미확인. | 2026-11-04 확인[hq_city]: 2024-07-17 투자자 공식 보도자료. | 2026-11-04 확인[operator_of_X]: GEMS 공식 회사 소개와 투자 발표를 검색했으나 GEMS British International School Riyadh라는 정확한 이름의 현행 학교 소속은 확인하지 못함. 비소속으로 단정하지 않음. UAE 외 전체 학교 목록도 미완료.
