Mentors from Alliance Française de Dhaka (AFD), a nonprofit organisation also known as the French Cultural Centre, will teach French language courses to the students of Glenrich International School (GIS) as part of their regular curriculum.

GIS signed an agreement with AFD on June 15 at its premises with a view to facilitating mentorship for its students. GIS has done this in continuation of its efforts to create a caring and nurturing environment appropriate for the flourishing of its students.

An agreement signing ceremony was held at the GIS campus in the presence of officials from both organisations. From AFD, François Grosjean, Director of AF, Dhaka and Mohammad Lutfar Rahman, Teacher Coordinator, French Courses and Training, were present. From GIS, Ramesh Mudgal, Principal of GIS; Jahangir Kabir Rasel, Head of Operations, STS Capital; Kumkum Habiba Jahan, Head of Junior School; Dushani Rajaratnam, Head of Pre-Primary; Monjurul Kabir, Head of Marketing, and Seak Mohammad Shihab, Manager, Operation, graced the event with their presence.

AFD has been working in Bangladesh since 1959 for promoting French culture in the region. This is a centre for cross-cultural exchanges and multimedia resources.

Inspired by the idea of "School of Life", GIS is taking initiatives to make its students future-fit by ensuring exposure to a number of out-of-textbook courses. Some of these include robotics education with STEMROBO, Math labs by Math Buddy, and music lessons following the syllabus of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music.
