BC Academy International School
BC Academy International School and Nursery is a British-curriculum, co-educational all-through school in Umm Suqeim 2, Dubai, founded by Albina Nasyrova on the site of a former government girls' school. Its Early Years Centre opened in 2024, with full primary and Year 7 launching in August 2025 and a phased rollout planned through to Year 13 (IGCSE and A-Level) for up to around 700 students. The school follows the English National Curriculum blended with American, Singaporean (including Singapore maths) and European pedagogies, emphasising small class sizes of up to 20, personalised attention and future-ready skills. As a Google Legacy School it embeds Google Workspace and digital literacy across a 20,000 square metre campus with STEM and Innovation labs, a multilingual library and a sports pitch. It is KHDA-licensed and, as a new school, has not yet been inspected by DSIB.
Fees read from the school's published 2026-27 fee schedule. Last checked 25 July 2026. How Talem verifies →
Fees for 2026/2027, per year group. Excludes registration, uniform, and transport.
Tuition for 2026-2027 as approved by the regulator, running from AED 50,000 in Year 1 to AED 66,000 in Years 7 and 8. The school's own website is a year behind: it still publishes its 2025-2026 sheets, which price Year 7 at AED 60,000 and carry no Year 8 at all. The school is on a phased rollout, so Year 8 is new this year and Year 7 has risen. Early years and nursery fees are not published anywhere: the fee page lists Year 1 to Year 7 only and the separate nursery site quotes no prices. Tuition is paid in three instalments of 40, 30 and 30 per cent, invoiced in advance of each term. A registration deposit of 10 per cent of tuition secures a place for new students, 5 per cent for returning ones; both are deducted from tuition but are not refundable. The AED 525 application fee is refunded only if no place is offered, and is not deducted from tuition. There is no general discount: a fourth and fifth child each receive 5 per cent, and founders' reductions and scholarships are mentioned without published values. If a family withdraws, one month's fees are deducted for up to two weeks attended, two months for up to a month, and the full term beyond that. Tuition excludes uniform, meals, transport and any English-language or special educational needs support.
