Bangladesh International Tutorial’s journey in education since 1983

"BIT stands tall as a pioneer in the field of English medium schools since 1983. With the school celebrating 40 years of educational progress and excellence. We feel a sense of responsibility towards raising engaged citizens of the utmost quality and characteristics who are making their mark and shaping our young country. To serve the nation by educating its children is the belief of Bangladesh International Tutorial. As Nobel Laureate  Rabindranath Tagore said: 'Every time a child is born, it brings the hope that God is not yet disappointed with man,'" said Lubna Choudhury, Principal of Bangladesh International Tutorial (BIT). 

BIT has etched its name in the list of the finest educational institutions in the country. Their reputation exceeds itself both in the arena of English medium schools as well as the field of academia at large. The school's success may be attributed to its ode to providing a world-class education that prepares its pupils to realise their potential and cultivate their talents.

Based on the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) and International Advanced Level (IAL) curriculum, BIT adheres to both the Edexcel and CAIE syllabi. The school's curriculum ardently advocates for students to undertake linguistic classes and believes that a second language is essential for all students.

Following the establishment of the institution, French as a second language has been an integral part of their curriculum. Since then, they have also introduced Bangla and Mandarin Chinese and even offer courses up to the O level. Bangla has been weaved into the syllabus and become compulsory for all Bangladeshi students. On the other hand, second languages such as French are mandatory until Class V and Chinese is only optional from Class I.

BIT strives for all its students to not only get admitted into the finest universities around the world but also attain prestigious scholarships. The feat is easier said than done but having a strong grasp of a second language makes the process easier. As a result, their curriculum is designed in a way that aligns with their objective. 

Textbooks and syllabi are merely a fraction of what allows students to excel. To ensure that they're truly thriving, pupils must be given the right environment and BIT provides precisely that. They boast one of the largest private campuses in Dhaka with multiple top-of-the-line amenities. For starters, there are a number of buildings within the facility that can accommodate up to 1800 enrolled students. In addition, the sports compound stretches up to 5.7 acres (18 bighas) of land and includes a standard-size football field as well as basketball and volleyball courts. The campus also includes a multipurpose hall and is equipped with a gymnasium for martial arts.

In addition, a music room was built specifically to host music classes and holds the capacity to practise dance and drama. Libraries boast a vast collection and laboratories offer all sorts of modern appliances. The campus is also recognised as an official venue for the O and A level examinations.

It is a vicinity that is complete in every sense of the word. Furthermore, it is complemented by a carefully curated curriculum. BIT's meticulous approach to education gives students the platform to develop life-long skills that are relevant in today's rapidly progressing world. But for such a thorough vision to come to fruition, they also require teachers of the highest calibre. To align with the standards of BIT, teachers are well-trained and brought up-to-date with all sorts of modern teaching methods.

The school encourages its students to pursue all sorts of extra-curricular activities. Due to BIT's relentless commitment to excellence outside of the classroom, they have accumulated the highest number of awardees from any school in Bangladesh in the Duke of Edinburgh International Award Programme. Whatever the endeavour may be, there is space to hone it and eventually master it. There is room for young minds to explore modern-day policies and discuss geopolitics through Model United Nations (MUN) as well as cater to creative ventures through after-school dance, poetry and theatre clubs. The school consistently organises sports events such as the NAC Cup Football Tournament (BIFT) as well as inter-school volleyball and basketball competitions. BIT's MUN club also hosts one of the most revered Model United Nations events in the country.

While it integrates international standards of education, BIT intends to remind its students about the importance of one's own roots and culture. The school consistently holds cultural programs, commemorates the liberation war, pays tribute to the martyrs and seeks to uphold Bangladesh's rich history. 

The values upon which BIT function is present in every aspect of the institution. BIT believes quality education should be accessible to all. This mantra of their resonates through design features on the campus where there are ramps and elevators as well as accommodations for children with a mild learning disability.

They also continue to ensure that the school fees remain affordable as they do not intend to stop serving families facing financial hardships. Moreover, BIT grants scholarships based on outstanding academic achievement. After all, it is only right that students have the fruits of their hard work rewarded.

With a sound system at the core of the institution, BIT has delivered 4 decades of academic prowess.
