Scholastica is a private English immersion school in Dhaka, Bangladesh, offering preschool to A-level courses.
It is prominently recognised as one of the elite schools of Bangladesh, boasting a strong alumni network.
Scholastica was set up in 1977 in to meet the demands for schools having English as the medium of instruction but emphasising equal proficiency in Bengali.
In January 2001, the senior classes moved into new premises. It has science and computer laboratories, electronic and print libraries, an audio-visual language teaching centre, sports facilities, and an air-conditioned auditorium.
Scholastica's junior, middle and senior divisions are housed in the Dhaka neighbourhoods of Dhanmondi, Gulshan, Uttara, and Mirpur.
The Uttara campus was built in 2000. It accommodates classes 4 to 12 in classrooms across its seven-stored compound. STM Hall is an auditorium which is used as a gymnasium. STM Hall is named after Yasmeen Murshed's husband Syed Tanver Murshed. The cafeteria overlooks Scholastica's 'Red Court' – an outdoor five-a-side futsal pitch and basketball court.
Scholastica has opened a campus in the heart of Mirpur. The campus has a full-scale swimming pool and auditorium.
Scholastica offers a complete primary, elementary, secondary and high school program leading to the General Certificate of Education examinations which are conducted by the British Council in Dhaka.
As of the 2008–09 academic session, the school's O- and A-level examinations were administered by Cambridge International Examinations, replacing the Edexcel system of schooling.
Laboratory facilities are provided for all the science classes. The Senior Labs are inspected and approved by the representatives of the University of London to meet their standard for the practical requirement of the '0' and 'A' Level examinations.
