About international schools in Chittagong, Bangladesh

Chittagong’s international schools form a small, city-centred group that mainly serve expatriate and local families seeking English-medium pathways rather than the national curriculum. The most common routes are British/Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level programmes, with a small number offering IB Primary Years for younger children and at least one school following an American/high-school diploma model. English is normally the language of instruction while Bengali is taught as a subject and additional languages (for example French or Korean at some schools) may be available. Fees and published schedules vary widely between campuses and several schools do not publish full fee lists or detailed intake calendars online, so relocating families should contact admissions early to check availability, transport and assessment requirements.

FAQs for Bangladesh

What curricula are available in Chittagong’s international schools?
Most of the city’s international schools follow British/Cambridge pathways (primary through IGCSE and A-Level), a small number offer the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme for early years, and at least one school follows an American-style high-school programme with AP options. Check each school’s profile for the specific exam boards and whether they run Cambridge O/AS/A Levels or IB authorisations.
How much should I budget for school fees in Chittagong?
Fees vary significantly by school, year group and facilities, and many Chittagong schools do not publish a full fee schedule online so publicly available figures are inconsistent. Some campus profiles for Bangladesh schools show very wide per-year ranges and individual schools sometimes publish only partial figures, so it is normal to request a written fee schedule and a list of extra costs (transport, books, assessments) directly from admissions.
When should we start the application process when relocating?
Apply as early as possible, especially for popular year groups and older grades where places are limited; many schools run assessments and require documentation (previous school reports, immunisation records and proof of residence) before offering a place. Younger children often have more rolling or flexible intakes, but you should still contact admissions at least several months ahead to confirm entry points, testing and any waiting-list procedure.
Is instruction in English and will my child need Bengali?
Instruction is predominantly in English at the city’s international schools, with Bengali typically taught as a language subject and promoted as the local language for community life. Schools commonly offer additional language options and some list French or other modern languages in lower-secondary options, while international or non-Bengali speakers can ask about English-as-an-additional-language support during admissions.
What should we look for during a school visit in Chittagong?
Ask to see evidence of the programme authorisation or exam-centre status (for example Cambridge centre status or IB authorisation), view facilities and class sizes, and meet staff who manage English-additional-language and learning support. Also check practical matters such as school transport options, published fee schedules and the admissions timetable so you understand deposit and re-enrolment deadlines before you accept a place.
