- Contacting the school
- Ask us and we will ask them
We hold this school's details and put questions to it for parents - fees for a year group, whether there is a place, what happens next. KHDA's own page for the school, linked below, carries its published contact details if you would rather go direct.

If your children may end up at different schools, the distance that decides your mornings is the one between them, not from home to each.
In context
Its mid-range fee is in line with the median for IB schools in this guide (AED 67,582). It is one of 85 schools in this guide currently rated Good.

These comparisons are computed from the verified data in this register, not editorial opinion.
What the inspectors said
Paraphrased from the last full DSIB inspection we could verify (2024-25 cycle) and its published record - read the complete report on the official KHDA directory. These findings are from the 2024-25 cycle and are now more than two years old. Leadership, staffing and provision can change substantially in that time - see the note below on why every rating in Dubai is older than it looks.
Strengths the inspectors named:
- Good on its first full inspection - a notable debut, since new schools rarely enter the KHDA system above this level.
- Several Very Good features, led by the personalised learning model: curriculum adaptation rated Very Good, and student progress in English Very Good in the middle and senior years.
- Inspectors credited the flexible school day and personalised learning pathways as distinguishing features rather than marketing language.
- A fully inclusive admissions approach following KHDA guidelines, with the ‘Learner Achievement Passport’ used to customise learning, and an Integra support team of a leader plus five learning-support teachers, a lead practitioner for English as an additional language and seven specialist assistants.
What they asked the school to improve:
- Teaching quality was rated Good throughout the school - solid, and a grade below the personalised-learning model it delivers.
- A school opened in 2022 with no exam track record yet: ask what the first cohorts are being prepared for and by whom.
- Fees run from about AED 30,000 in the Early Excellence Centre to AED 85,000 in Grade 12 - premium pricing against a Good rating, which deserves a direct conversation.
Inclusion (students of determination): 103 students of determination registered at the May 2025 inspection, in a school that follows KHDA guidelines on fully inclusive admissions: the Integra team - a leader, five learning-support teachers, a lead practitioner for English as an additional language and seven specialist assistants - supports students who are struggling, those needing acceleration, and those developing study and self-organisation skills. See the special educational needs guide for the questions to ask on a visit.
Inspector summaries are being added school by school as each report is read - 221 of 230 so far, dated per cycle, never invented. A school without a summary yet is unread, not unjudged.

What we don't know about this school
Every other page on this site tells you what we have verified. This one tells you what we have not, because a register you cannot calibrate is worth less than one you can. We do not currently hold:
- whether it is co-educational, boys or girls
- how many children are on roll
- its facilities - sports, arts, science, library
- published exam results or university destinations
- what registration, transport, uniform and meals add to the fee
- the year it opened - the figure we held was wrong on every school we checked
- an admissions email or direct line
None of it is guessed or filled in from a similar school. Ask for any of it using the form below and it moves up the queue - requests are how we decide what to collect next.
Ask this school a question - we'll do the asking
Tell us the year group, and we will ask Bloom World Academy what it costs, whether there is a place, and what the next step is. Then we send you what they say. Every answer we get is also checked into this school's record, so the next parent finds it already here.
Your details stay with us. We contact the school ourselves, and we do not pass your name or address to them, or to any agent, unless you ask us to. No school pays to appear in this guide, and none can pay to change what it says.
