Innovation in Secondary: Preparing Students for the Future with AI, Drones, and VR

Written by GEMS Wellington Academy – Al Khail | May 13, 2025 11:49:11 AM

At GEMS Wellington Academy - Al Khail, innovation isn’t a separate subject, it’s woven into every aspect of learning. In our Secondary phase, students are equipped not only with academic knowledge but also with the technological fluency needed to succeed in a fast-changing world. 

Our students engage with cutting-edge tools including AI-based learning platforms, drones, and virtual reality (VR). These technologies bring abstract concepts to life, whether it’s using VR to explore historical sites or programming drones to solve real-world challenges in science and engineering. 

Our STEAM and Global Futures curriculum prepares students to think critically, solve problems creatively, and adapt to the demands of future careers. This future-focused mindset is reinforced through Projects for Change, where students use innovation to create purposeful solutions to global issues. 

At WEK, we’re not just teaching students about the future, we’re preparing them to lead it. Learn more about our innovative approach by  scheduling a tour today.
