GEMS CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

 

GEMS CAMBRIDGE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL: When Hillcrest International School was sold, many did not know that the owners of Gems Cambridge School are the ones who acquired the property.

Joining the Kenyan market in 2012, Gems Cambridge International school, that has a student population of approximately 200, settled in a property in Karen, Nairobi Kenya, that was specifically designed by a private developer to match other Gems schools in Dubai.
With the acquisition of Hillcrest International Schools, its believed that the institution is in the process of moving all its students to Hillcrest whose property they now own, to cut down the cost of annual rent of 200M.
This therefore is to say, for operations, facilities, school fee etc., refer to the Hillcrest review.
