Oxford International School - Oxford International School Uttara in Uttara, Dhaka

At OIS all aspects of our educational processes are carefully designed to cultivate and stimulate the intellectual, social, and personal development of the most important stakeholders at this institution; the students. As we are here to serve a global community, we assist internationally-mobile families in making a smooth transfer to any school system or graduate to universities worldwide.

We are passionate about creating a ‘learning’ institution that is dynamic and constantly seeking excellence to meet the needs of the present as well as the future while learning from the ethical and moral value systems of the Bangladeshi past. OIS is committed to the complete development of a student; this includes academic knowledge, social skills, intellectual curiosity, Physical endurance, and a special emphasis on self-discovery. We have a diverse group of students and teachers who possess a global perspective. We invest wisely in our human resources for the professional development of our staff and they in turn see themselves as part of the worldwide educational community.

Uttara is a rapidly developing, modern, family-friendly suburban area that attracts many young professionals and their families and is often referred to as New Dhaka. This family-oriented nature of the area can be seen through its various features including the many parks and green areas and a number of family-friendly restaurants and shopping areas.

OIS Uttara Campus, situated in the heart of Uttara, reflects many of these qualities which we are constantly working towards for an up-to-date, modern system of education that not only caters to the demands of the professional world in which our children will grow but also to support their social and moral development.

This can be seen by the approach of constant and ongoing training of teachers and staff to ensure the learning of our children is as relevant and efficient as possible.

Furthermore, the way in which we attempt to use the space we have to the benefit of the children’s development. So far this has seen us invest in a rooftop playground, a small playground for our little kiddos, a library, and an activity room all of which build toward a learning environment in which our children can thrive.

Furthermore, it is common knowledge that sometimes children need that little bit extra in terms of support; be it with maths, English, or support in developing social skills. However, not all families have the ability or resources to provide this. With this in mind, we have set up a number of remedial sessions in which children who have been identified as struggling by their teacher, get the opportunity to work one on one with their teacher so that they get the targeted support they need. This is an extra service that is free of charge for those identified as needing it the most.
