Director
Director's Welcome
Welcome to International School Dhaka!
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to ISD, a vibrant and internationally-minded learning community that has been inspiring students since 1999. As Bangladesh's first IB Continuum World School, we are proud to offer the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Diploma Programme (DP), alongside accreditation from the Council of International Schools (CIS) and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). These recognitions reflect our unwavering commitment to excellence in teaching, learning and school improvement.
At ISD, we believe that education is about far more than academic achievement. Our purpose is to empower every student through innovative learning so they develop the knowledge, skills, character and confidence to make a meaningful difference in an ever-changing world. We aspire to nurture compassionate, principled and curious young people who embrace challenge, value diversity and become impactful global citizens.
Our community is united by three simple yet powerful values: Wellbeing, Kindness and Responsibility. These values shape every aspect of school life, creating an environment where every student feels safe, valued and inspired to reach their full potential. We believe that when young people experience a genuine sense of belonging, they flourish both academically and personally.
One of ISD's greatest strengths is its people. Our highly qualified faculty, dedicated support staff, engaged families and enthusiastic students work together to create a warm, inclusive and collaborative community. We celebrate the diversity of our international and Bangladeshi families, recognising that different cultures, experiences and perspectives enrich learning for everyone.
As Director, I am committed to ensuring that every child is known, challenged and supported, and that every member of our community feels connected to our shared purpose. Together, we will continue to build on ISD's proud tradition of excellence while embracing innovation and preparing our students for the opportunities and challenges of tomorrow.
