About international schools in Bangladesh

British-curriculum international schools in Bangladesh are English-medium institutions that commonly follow UK examination routes - most frequently Cambridge Assessment (IGCSE/O-Level and A-Level) or Pearson Edexcel - and prepare children for IGCSEs at about 14 - 16 and A-levels at 16 - 18. Bengali (Bangla) and Bangladesh Studies are regularly taught alongside English, while other modern languages may be offered as options; schools vary in whether Bangla is a compulsory examined subject. Annual fees cover a wide band depending on school size, facilities and location, with family guides and school listings showing budgets from more modest neighbourhood schools to higher-fee premium schools, and separate charges for admission, exam registration, transport and extras. Admissions follow each school’s calendar (many schools have mid-year and new-year intakes and some align to a northern-hemisphere three-term year), and most centres ask for an application form and fee, previous school reports, an entry assessment and proof of residence or immigration status, so relocating families should apply early and request the full, current fee and exam schedule from the school.

FAQs for Bangladesh

What is the difference between Cambridge and Pearson Edexcel IGCSE/A-Level pathways?
Both Cambridge Assessment and Pearson Edexcel are UK awarding organisations used by British-curriculum schools in Bangladesh; both offer international GCSE/O-Level and A-level routes but they publish different syllabuses, assessment models and timetables so subject availability and exam style can vary between boards. Schools choose a board for reasons such as teacher experience, preferred subject syllabuses and exam administration, and universities accept qualifications from either awarding body.
How much should I budget for fees and extra costs?
Annual tuition at British-curriculum international schools in Bangladesh varies widely by school and year group; parent fee guides and school listings show ranges from more modest annual tuitions up to substantially higher sums for premium schools, and exam years or senior grades are often more expensive. In addition to tuition expect one-off admission or registration fees, examination and registration charges, transport, uniforms, textbooks and optional services (learning support, clubs), so ask each school for a full, itemised fee schedule and examples of typical total annual costs.
When can we enrol and what documents or steps are usually required?
Intakes and term dates differ by school but many British-curriculum schools in Bangladesh offer entry points at the start of the school’s academic year and at mid-year (schools commonly publish January, June - July or August/September intakes), with places in exam years and popular year groups filling early. Most schools require a completed application form and fee, previous school reports and transcripts, an entry assessment or interview (often in English and mathematics), and proof of identity/residence and immunisation records, so start enquiries well before your planned arrival.
At what ages do students take IGCSEs and A-levels in these schools?
Pupils normally study toward International GCSE or O-Level examinations around ages 14 - 16 (Key Stage 4 / Upper Secondary) and then proceed to AS/A-Level programmes or equivalent post-16 study between about 16 and 18. Exact year groups, the mix of AS/A-Level versus full A-Level routes and subject choices depend on the school’s programme and whether the centre follows Cambridge or Pearson specifications.
Is Bangla taught and will my Bangladeshi child be required to study it?
English is the usual medium of instruction, but Bangla (Bangla language) and Bangladesh Studies are commonly included in the school curriculum and many English-medium schools teach them as core subjects; some schools make Bangla compulsory up to IGCSE/O-Level in line with national education guidance and local practice. If maintaining mother-tongue study is important to you, check the school’s subject list and exam registration policy before accepting a place.
