International School Dhaka (ISD) has launched an ambitious new strategy which will bring big names in education and sport to Bangladesh and investment in world-class campus facilities.
Central to the ISD 2.0 strategy - unveiled to the school’s current parents on August 12 - is a series of partnerships. Renowned US college Carnegie Mellon University will bring its world-leading research-backed robotics program to ISD, where Grade 1-10 students will work with experts to learn about programming, coding, and computational thinking, using Lego and VEX kits.
Sports will also get a boost through global names in football and cricket. ISD, which prides itself on its holistic approach to education and delivers a dynamic co-curricular program, announced partnerships with Barca Academy, the official academy of FC Barcelona, and CricKingdom, a cricket academy fronted by India cricket captain, Rohit Sharma.
Steve Calland-Scoble said, “ISD 2.0 marks a step-change in our evolution as we bring truly unique and ambitious opportunities for our students to learn beyond the classroom with global leaders in their field.”
ISD has also collaborated with Univariety, a leading alumni management company, to develop its alumni program and promote interaction amongst current students, parents, and alumni.
