Around the late nineties many people were feeling the necessity of a good English medium school in Chittagong which would provide children quality education, yet remain faithful to the cultural roots we have nurtured for thousands of years. However, they were scattered all over the country and thus things were not really clicking. In mid July 1997, six fresh university graduates sat together, dedicated themselves and took the initiative to start an English medium school where feet firmly grounded in their own culture. With that dedication, Presidency International School started its academics on January 02, 1998 with 15 distinguished teachers and 56 students. At present, it has over thousands of students in classes Play Group to A level in three distinct campuses- Junior School, Middle School and Senior School. Presidency International School is affiliated with the Cambridge International Education (CIE) since 2003 and our Centre No. The first batch of O' AS and A' Level appeared at the exams in 2005, 2009 and 2010 respectively. Beside Cambridge curriculum, Presidency focuses on a holistic approach of education and includes its own workbooks and, co-curricular and extra-curricular programmes to provide them a total education to ensure a broader support for their social, physical and emotional development and enhance academic success. Thus, taking preparatory classes for GCE O level and A level syllabuses of CAIE, students must take classes in Mathematics, English, Bengali, Art, Computer Science and Social studies for all 10 years of Primary and Secondary schools (1st -10th grade). Presidency follows the Cambridge Primary, Lower Secondary curriculum for its Junior and Middle School sections. Besides, Presidency does a rigorous research on the available curricula, Bangladesh National Curriculum and CIE pilot projects, and produces books and teaching aids for Bengali, Art and Crafts, Bangladesh Studies and Religious Studies to enrich students’ knowledge at the Primary and Lower Secondary level. Presidency family is very much thankful to all stakeholders- the initiators, founder members, dedicated teachers, our valuable parents and guardians, most precious students, our staff and well wishers- for giving us plethora of inspirations in our journey towards achieving our goal. Our goal is nothing but to create a generation globally competent enough to face the challenges of the 21st century.
