Bloom World Academy is set out to do things differently and create a safe and open environment for its students.
In August, as schools resume, parents will be invited to each lunch with their children on a weekly basis during their lunch break.
The first school in the UAE to make the change, the initiative will encourage building stronger familial bonds as well as creating a positive change in the education industry.
Mixed-age group dining will also be encouraged during the one-hour break for students to engage and connect with their peers.
John Bell, Founding Principal at Bloom World Academy said, “We will continually question education traditions at Bloom World Academy and our lunch break initiatives are just one example of this. Our team of inspiring educators are on a mission to change the face of education and have brought together some of the best practices from around the world and the parent child lunch break was one we absolutely had to implement at the school. It is no secret that the pandemic has driven children to experience an isolated lunch break. Children were forced to eat alone for more than two years – this is of course going to have an impact on their development and social skills. We are a school that is all about community and connection and that’s what we hope to rebuild post-pandemic with our lunch break initiatives. Children’s lunch breaks are a vital point of the day for them to disconnect from learning and engage with fellow students to develop communication and social skills so it is important that we make this time a priority.”
Enrolment is now open with Founder family discounts now available.
