A Brief History of the School

OIS was founded in 1987, to satisfy the need for a truly international school in Dhaka. Since then the school has grown in terms of its student population, range of subjects taught and lecturing staff. The school takes pride in its facilities provided with five education purpose built, architecturally distinctive buildings. Now it has 2500 students and 250 teachers with an international student body and teaching faculty. One of the greatest achievements is, today the students from OIS have become internationally recognized by being the World highest and Bangladesh highest scorers in GCE O and A Level examinations. The school has achieved an excellent standing within the community, and is an associate member of the Round Square organisation of international schools.OIS is a registered school and attached Centre with University of Cambridge International Examinations, UK and Edexcel, UK.

Our highly trained and motivated teaching faculty is made up of a combination of local and foreign teachers. Educational consultants, from University of Cambridge Local Examination Syndicate (UCLES) make two visits each year in order to ensure an international standard of education at OIS. Qualified teacher-trainers conduct workshops in a range of subjects. Teacher appraisals and in-house professional development programmes are also routinely conducted.
