About Bawsala

Duroob means paths. Bawsala shows the way.

Bawsala is a weekly online program by Duroob that adds what school often leaves out. Children learn to know themselves, think clearly, build with technology and share their ideas with confidence, in small groups with teachers who know every student by name.

It isn’t one more subject to memorize. It’s hands-on learning, and every term ends with a real project your child presents to the family.

«Ambition without a path is just a wish»

Questions about Bawsala

All questions
Who is Bawsala for?

For children and teens aged 9 to 14, in two stages: Idea Makers (ages 9–11, grades 4–6) and Innovators (ages 12–14, grades 7–9). Little Voyagers (ages 6–8) and Tomorrow’s Leaders (ages 15–18) are coming soon.

Is the program fully online?

Yes, Bawsala is 100% online: your child learns from home on any computer with a camera and mic and a stable internet connection, using free tools only.

When are the classes?

Three hours a week: two live 60-minute classes on Friday and Saturday (Idea Makers 4:00–5:00 pm, Innovators 5:30–6:30 pm, Baghdad time), and about 45 minutes in the Build Lab on the Duroob platform. Classes pause during mid-year and final exams.

What language are classes in?

Each stage has Arabic groups and English groups, and you choose your child’s group language when you register. Either way, students practise presenting their ideas in both languages.

How much does Bawsala cost?

$65 a month, or $440 for the whole year (you save $80; the yearly plan covers 8 months of classes). There’s also a one-time, non-refundable registration fee of $99, and 10% off for each brother or sister.

Does my child need coding experience?

No. Idea Makers start with Scratch basics and Innovators with their first mobile app. In the intro session we choose the right stage and group for your child together.

Is Bawsala a coding course for kids?

It’s more than a coding course. Your child learns coding and AI with tools like Scratch, App Inventor and Python, along with critical thinking, presenting and values, and finishes every journey with a real project they build themselves.

How many students are in a group?

No more than 12, with a teacher who follows each child’s progress and knows them by name.

How will I follow my child’s progress?

Three ways: a Compass Report every term showing progress in the four directions with the teacher’s notes, the Parents’ Compass (a short monthly session and a practical guide), and a portfolio of every project.

How do I register my child for Bawsala?

Fill in the registration form on this page, then choose one of two ways: book an intro call at a day and time that suit you, morning or evening, and we’ll call you to pick the stage and group before you pay; or register and pay right away by card through Stripe, and we’ll hold your child’s place and contact you to set their group.

Is paying online safe?

Yes. You pay on Stripe’s secure page in Duroob’s name, your card details never pass through our site, and Stripe emails you a receipt. On the monthly plan, $65 is charged every month for 8 months, then the payments stop by themselves.
