GEMS United Indian School began as the well known Our Own English School, which opened in September, 1990. Following a restructure and the building of a new, state-of-the-art campus, it began enrolments in November 2015, for school, re-named as GEMS United Indian School.

GEMS United Indian School carries on the GEMS Education passion for delivering internationally comparable quality Indian education, built on the belief that the culture of education is to pass on the light of skill and knowledge, helping students expand their physical and intellectual horizons through value-based and value-added educational programmes. The school's motto 'Lead Kindly Light’ encapsulates this belief. And today, the restructured school is regarded as one of the premier educational institutions in Abu Dhabi.

The school offers a Ministry of Education (MOE), UAE, approved Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) affiliated curriculum. Through this, GEMS United Indian School combines the best educational practices of today with the promises of tomorrow. We offer a premium, value-based education that instils 21st century skills. The school takes education beyond the primary stage of reading and writing, by taking it to the level of learning, unlearning, innovating and relearning. It is through this style that our students have proudly attained outstanding achievements in their CBSE examinations.
