Sharna-Lynn Yarde

My name is Sharna-lynn Yarde, and I am the Head of ICT & Computer Science at Gems Metropole School. My family and I moved to Dubai from London two years ago and it has been an incredible journey so far.

I hold a BA (Hons) degree in Business Studies & ICT, which has provided me with a strong foundation in understanding the dynamics of the corporate world. However, my true passion lies in education. To pursue this passion further, I completed a postgraduate certificate in Education with a specialization in CS & ICT, solidifying my expertise in the field.

With over 12 years of teaching experience, I’ve had the privilege of working in various schools with students from diverse backgrounds. This exposure has instilled in me a deep appreciation for the importance of ICT and Computer Science as essential subjects in today's rapidly evolving world.

It is my mission to creatively empower my students, ensuring they are engaged and equipped with the necessary skills to adapt to ever-changing technology.

My dedication to my students extends beyond academics. I believe in nurturing well-rounded individuals, investing in their personal growth and success. My positive and enthusiastic approach, coupled with a growth mindset, inspires my students to believe that anything is achievable with the right mindset and effort.

I am honored to lead the ICT & Computer Science and committed to its ongoing development, which will ultimately result in the academic and personal success and growth of our students. Our department not only imparts knowledge but also nurtures a passion for technology and innovation.

In my spare time, I indulge in my appetite for travel, exploring different cultures and broadening my horizons. I value quality time spent with my family, recognizing the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Furthermore, I am deeply passionate about self-development, constantly striving to be the best version of myself.
