In accordance with the Ministry of Education/KHDA regulations, please note the following:

Students who have no previous schooling (Pre-K – Grade 1)

Younger students who are just starting school are required to be placed according to their age (see table above).

All students will be placed as per their promotion grade as indicated on their previous school’s Transfer Certificate.

Students transferring outside of the UAE

• Younger students from Pre-K to Grade 1 are required to be placed according to their age (see table above) regardless of if they have attended school previously.
• Grade 2 and above students will be placed as per their promotion grade as indicated on their previous school’s Transfer Certificate.

Transfer Certificate

In order to comply with the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) regulations, all students must submit a Transfer Certificate (TC) from their current school. A colour copy must be submitted prior to the first day of attendance. The TC can be submitted in English or Arabic. The TC needs to be completed on the school’s official letterhead paper, signed by the school Principal and stamped.

Please refer to the below table for clarification on the required attestation from your home country. If you have any questions, please contact the school's Admissions Office at 800-BWAC (2922) or +971 (0) 4 371 4774, or email [email protected]

Ministry of Education Grade Equivalency Application – Grade 9 to Grade 12

Students transferring schools within the UAE to join Grades 9 to 12 must seek approval from the UAE Ministry of Education (MOE) prior to starting school.

In order to ensure students receive equivalency certificates when transferring between Curricula, parents are required to complete the following steps:

Step 1: Parents must attest their child’s end-of-year report/s from the education authority their child’s previous school follows (from KHDA if they are transferring from a private school in Dubai, ADEK if they are transferring from a school in Abu Dhabi etc).

Attestation is required for all end-of-year reports from Grade 9 onwards. For students new to Grade 9, attestation is only required for the Grade 8 end-of-year report. *Attestation from Dubai schools can be completed online using the DUBAINOW App

Step 2: Parents must complete the equivalency via the MoE website through the attestation service option, by uploading the attested end-of-year report/s and any other documents required as per the site.

In case you have any questions regarding this process or require any support, please do not hesitate to contact our Government Relations Executive or our admissions department.

Documentation
Bloom World Academy can only accept your child’s application with all of the required supporting documentation. We will not be able to process incomplete applications.

New students to Bloom World Academy who are unable to be registered with the KHDA due to incomplete documentation could be fined by the KHDA. Bloom World Academy will not be responsible for any such fines imposed by the KHDA. Should there be a delay in providing documentation, please advise our Admissions Office.

Admissions
Submitting an application form to Bloom World Academy does not oblige the School to accept your child. However, once you have received a formal offer and in turn returned and signed the acceptance along with submission of the required deposits/tuition fees, a contract is deemed to exist between Bloom World Academy and the parents/guardians, provided that the School’s regulations are observed.

Grade Placement
Bloom World Academy reserves the right to place your child in a class deemed to be the most appropriate, within the KHDA guidelines.
