Choose IHSB to secure a holistic learning experience for your child
"The role of a school is not only to pursue academic excellence but also to motivate and empower its students to be lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and productive global citizens with values and ethics," says Roksana Zarin, Principal of International Hope School, Bangladesh.
This ideology rings true for the vision of IHSB, as they hope to create an educated nation equipped with attributes, exclusivity, profound insights, and competence to embrace challenges that will allow them to make informed decisions in their own lives and in society.
International Hope School Bangladesh (IHSB), formerly known as International Turkish Hope School, has been successfully offering high quality education through an English Medium curriculum for the past 25 years. Based on the Cambridge (CAIE) curriculum for both primary and senior sections, the school allows for a seamless transition to IGCSE and A level qualifications.
As students obtain education of international standards, they possess the principles required to embrace challenges of the current status quo, embedded with technology in the learning that allows learners to take charge of their own learning by taking their interests and abilities into account.
Science requires hands-on experience for learners to gain authentic experiences, hence, IHSB built their science and ICT laboratory and equipped them with the best apparatus and top-grade technology in order to enhance students' understanding in the fields of the sciences and ICT. Not only that, classrooms are facilitated with hi-tech educational set-up, multimedia, and advanced learning aid to assure students are encouraged and receive engaging lessons.
With the accessibility to both core curriculum and extended curriculum, IHSB additionally provides Character & Value Education (CVE), emphasising a significant notion to the character development of students. CVE ensures that students learn important life skills, such as financial literacy, productive habits, and problem solving skills by prioritising respect, sense of responsibility, honesty, and love.
IHSB takes pride in possessing a pool of brilliant and highly qualified, and experienced educators, who constantly motivate the students with dedication and ambition through lessons within and even outside classrooms.
When speaking about the school and its team of adept educators, Abdilaziz Zholdoshov, Chairman of IHSB says, "I believe a good school is a holy place where the light of wisdom will be focused, and the teacher is the magic master of this mysterious laboratory. The true master is the one who will save us from centuries of old pains and, by the strength of his wisdom, remove the darkness covering our horizons."
All teachers are given training under the Continuous Professional Development program to keep them up-to-date on latest teaching practices and techniques for their classrooms. Furthermore, all the teachers receive Partner Schools Global Network (PSGN) courses from the British Council that is monthly provided to hone the teaching methods and materials.
Teachers deliver engaging lessons to the students, and provide regular mentorship that eventually helps teachers understand the personality and learning ability of the students. It evidently supports teachers to introduce differentiation to the lessons.
Along with educational endeavours, IHSB also offers a wide range of extracurricular activities through clubs for debate, IQ, science, sports, robotics, music, art, foreign languages, and reading, which may open up great opportunities for students to develop communication, confidence, life skills, and social skills. Along with clubs, IHSB participates in a range of national and international competitions, Olympiads and even exchange programs.
Furthermore, IHSB proudly organises annual week-long programmes like Bangla Week, English Week, Business Week, Music Week, and more. On the occasion of Ekushey February, IHSB conducts the Bangla Olympiad with the participants across the country to highlight the significance of Bangla language and to celebrate International Mother Language Day.
The school understands that cultural events are an integral part of any educational program and firmly believes that participating in cultural programs will not only foster interest and respect towards our cultural heritage but also help in developing qualities like discipline, collaboration and time management for the students. Thus, IHSB organises cultural programs to commemorate national days, along with year-end annual programs that are adorned with students' marvellous rendition of popular songs and dances.
Quality education should be made accessible, hence, IHSB runs a successful scholarship program for the students with stellar academic potential. Every year, a group of selective students from different regions of the country are awarded with the scholarship as a golden opportunity to complete secondary and high school education in IHSB.
It generally takes place through a scholarship qualification test on the basis of academic merits, guided by a dedicated teacher's team of IHSB. The IHSB Scholarship Program covers the entire tuition from grade 6 to A Level, including educational cost, healthy foods, and finest accommodation for the awardees.
The demands of the century dictate the need for education beyond books for students. IHSB, being an acclaimed English medium school, prepares the students with practical skill-set of collaboration, digital literacy, critical thinking, real-life skills, and a lot more.
