October 2024, a unique educational institution opened its doors in the heart of Dubai – BC Academy International School & Nursery

Located in the prestigious Jumeirah area, the school is rapidly gaining attention for its scale, innovative educational model, high academic standards, and wide range of extracurricular activities available to students.

A Modern Approach to Education

BC Academy offers a full educational cycle for children aged 1 to 18, including a nursery and international school based on the British curriculum. However, the school is more than just an educational institution; it is a complex that combines cutting-edge educational technologies, cultural traditions, and a multilingual approach. Students can learn not only English but also French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Mandarin, Turkish, and other languages, helping to broaden their horizons and prepare them for life in a global society.

The school actively employs innovative pedagogical practices from various educational systems (i.e. British, American, Singaporean, and European), creating a balanced and comprehensive educational environment. It is also important to note that 90% of the teaching staff are British nationals, including the Principal and Director of Early Years..

Infrastructure and Opportunities for Development

The BC Academy campus, designed for 700 students, spans 20,000 square meters and is equipped to the highest international standards. The school offers not only traditional learning spaces but also unique areas that make the learning process even more engaging and multidimensional areas such as science laboratories, a STEM lab, computer and culinary classrooms, an atrium, a library, and fully equipped indoor and outdoor play areas with green spaces.

The school also has its own café offering a hot, four-meal-a-day service with a balanced, healthy, and tasty menu. For the convenience of parents, there is ample parking and a school bus service.

One of the school’s key highlights is Dubai’s first indoor ice rink, which has become not only a sports facility but also a cultural space for school events. In addition, the campus is home to music and art academies, as well as sports facilities, including a football pitch, tennis courts, and gyms for both fitness and dance.

Fostering Leadership and Entrepreneurial Skills

BC Academy does not focus solely on academic success. The school also actively develops programs aimed at fostering leadership and entrepreneurial skills, helping graduates feel confident not only in their academic life but also in their professional careers. The school has established partnership programmes with leading universities in the UK and the USA, opening up further opportunities for higher education and career progression.

A wide range of extracurricular clubs is also available, including robotics, BC Games, Lego, Matata Lab, chess, drama, music, ballet, and many more.

The Future of Education in Dubai

BC Academy has already proven its commitment to high-quality education, and many parents consider it the ideal choice for their children. With extensive experience in the international education sector, the school promises to become a significant milestone in Dubai’s educational ecosystem and serve as a model for future educational initiatives in the region.

With its modern approach and unique infrastructure, BC Academy will undoubtedly set a new standard in the education sector in the UAE.
