International Hope School Bangladesh in Uttara, Dhaka

Founder Principal Kazim Eldes established ITHS in Dhaka in 1996. The President of Turkey, Süleyman Demirel, a strong supporter of Turkish schools, officially inaugurated the school while on a state visit in March 1997.

The school started as one campus in rented premises serving a small number of very young students. It has since grown to eight campuses in three cities: two preschools, two junior sections (grades 1–5), and two senior sections (one boy, one girl) in the Gulshan and Uttara areas of Dhaka, a branch in Chittagong that spans from preschool through grade 12, and a preschool and junior section in Bogra. Combined enrollment has risen to 1,500 as of 2014.

IHSB is an English medium school having classes from Toddler through the higher secondary level. The school follows the International GCSE and GCE system and prepares the students for O-level and A-level examinations. English is taught from an early age. The British Council has partnered with the school since May 2015, teaching English language reading and writing skills to children between 11 and 13 years old at the Uttara campus. Bengali language classes are compulsory for students with Bangladeshi roots. Religious studies classes are compulsory for Muslim students.

Our experienced teachers and management aim to impart education of the highest standard. Our aim is not solely, however, to achieve academic excellence. Through ethical knowledge and practices, alongside innovation and creativity, we want IHSB graduates to be well-rounded individuals, ready and dynamic, and competent to face the challenges of the 21st century.

Our students should willingly accept responsibility. They should engage wholeheartedly in any activity they choose, be it in science, business, the humanities, or family life, with constructive moral values and ethics.
