History Individuals And Societies IandS - Leading Teacher Advanced Practitioner

Job Overview

Bloom World Academy, located in the centre of Dubai in a state-of-the-art new building/campus, is seeking to appoint a Leading Teacher / Advanced Practitioner in History and Individuals & Societies (I&S), to start in January 2026.

Our Story

Bloom World Academy was launched in August 2022 and educates children from ages three to 18 years. The school has been hugely successful in challenging convention and doing things differently in Dubai for the benefit of learners, families and teachers.

Every aspect of learning and teaching at Bloom World Academy has been considered – how we do it, why we do it, and the impact it has. This has directly led to many firsts for the UAE: the first school in the UAE to start at 9am; the first school where each student and their family can choose their own timetable (learning pathways); and the first school to introduce a Learning Achievement Passport (LAP), where performance and progress are shared with students and families several times a year.

Above all, BWA is a school which puts family life first – encouraging parents to be part of school life, whether by working from our community café, attending workshops, or joining our weekly celebratory community forum.

Our approach has exceeded all expectations, and as we continue to grow, we are seeking to appoint outstanding educators and leaders who want to shape the future of teaching and learning in Dubai.
