Quick answer
When choosing an Islamic English-medium school in Uttara, ask which curriculum it follows, how Quran and Islamic studies fit into the school day, who leads the teaching, how small the groups are, how safe the campus is, how the school talks to parents, and whether you can visit first. Comparing schools on these seven points makes the choice clearer.
Families in Uttara have more choice than ever. These are the questions we suggest asking any school you are considering — including ours.
1. Which curriculum does the school follow?
English-medium schools in Dhaka usually follow the Cambridge (or another British) curriculum, the national curriculum in English, or a blend. The curriculum shapes the textbooks, the exams your child will sit later and the subjects available. AIGS follows the Cambridge curriculum in English.
2. How are Quran and Islamic studies taught?
Ask whether Quran recitation, Arabic and Islamic studies are daily lessons or occasional extras, and whether there is a path for children who want to memorise the Quran. At AIGS, Islamic teaching from the Quran and Sunnah runs alongside modern education, and a Hifzul Quran Program is available.
3. Who leads the teaching?
Experienced, committed teachers matter more than buildings. Ask about the teachers' backgrounds and how long they have taught. AIGS is operated by scholars from Al-Azhar University, Egypt, and managed by educated professionals.
4. Will my child get individual attention?
Ask how teachers follow each child's progress and how problems are handled. Look for a school that deals with each child's difficulties individually and with respect.
5. Is the campus safe and welcoming?
Visit during the school day. Notice how children move around, how staff greet them and whether the classrooms feel calm and orderly.
6. How does the school keep parents informed?
Ask how you will hear about attendance, results and fees, and how quickly the school answers questions. A school that sees parents as partners makes the years ahead easier.
7. Can we visit first?
A good school is happy to show you around. AIGS welcomes visits at House No-2, (opposite to Baitun Noor Jame Masjid) Road No-10, Sector No-11, Uttara, Dhaka; call +880 1792-742441 to arrange a time.
