BC Academy has officially opened its doors in the heart of Jumeirah, bringing a fresh approach to British education in Dubai. This forward-thinking institution offers the UK National Curriculum from Nursery through to Secondary, focusing on academic excellence, creativity, and real-world learning to prepare students for the challenges of the 21st century.
Nurturing Future Innovators
At BC Academy, students are not just taught to memorise facts—they are empowered to become critical thinkers, problem solvers, and effective communicators. The school’s curriculum integrates STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) project-based learning to develop these essential skills. This approach ensures students gain a deep understanding of academic concepts while applying their knowledge to real-world situations, preparing them to thrive in a fast-changing world.
Janet O’Keeffe, Chairperson of BC Academy, captured this mission perfectly:
“We asked ourselves a simple but powerful question—are we preparing children for our past or their future? Everything we do at BC Academy is driven by the belief that education must evolve to meet the pace of global change.”
BC Academy Jumeirah’s State-of-the-Art Learning Environment
The BC Academy Jumeirah campus provides an enriched learning environment designed to inspire creativity and innovation. Facilities include a state-of-the-art Science Lab, a Music & Creativity Lab, a Maker Space, and a multilingual curriculum featuring Arabic, Islamic, and Mandarin language programmes. These facilities encourage hands-on learning, collaborative projects, and innovative thinking, creating a vibrant educational experience that goes beyond textbooks.
A Holistic Approach to Education
BC Academy’s commitment to holistic education is further strengthened through its BC Academy Enrichment and Activities Movement (BEAM). This initiative fosters strong partnerships between parents, students, and teachers, encouraging active involvement in school life. It also supports students’ emotional, social, and academic growth, helping them develop the confidence and resilience needed for future success.
Join a Community of Changemakers
Applications for the 2025–2026 academic year are now open, inviting families to join this dynamic learning community that is shaping the innovators and changemakers of tomorrow.
