Message From Principal
At the Canadian International School Bangladesh, it is our goal to assist every single student in attaining their academic and social potential. Our school has high learning expectations for children within a healthy, stimulating, and supportive learning environment. We actively try to identify many factors that can impact a student’s desire to be engaged in their learning. The Canadian curriculum is designed to be regarded as a developmental learning journey that allows teachers to meet the students at their individual level and provide lessons to support them in their learning progress. This type of curriculum builds on a child’s natural desire to learn through stimulating and varied experiences. Competence in language, reading mathematics, science and technology is developed systematically and in conjunction with a child’s natural development. As the administrator, I work closely with the teachers to support them in providing an inquiry based educational environment conducive to the various learning styles children come with. It is important for our teachers to participate in professional development on a regular basis. This allows the teachers to be up to date on changes to the curriculum, Canadian teaching methodology and to work as a collaborative team in developing units and/or lessons that include a cross-curricular theme approach.
