European Standard School (ESS) is an English medium school situated in the Dhanmondi Residential Area of Dhaka, Bangladesh, that follows the Cambridge International Examinations academic programme up to O-level and A-level. It is located in four parts of the Dhanmondi Residential Area. It has opened a branch at Mirpur.

On March 20, the official signing of the Partner School Memorandum of Understanding between Goethe Institute Bangladesh and European Standard School took place. With the signing of the MoU the school joined a network of the best 1500 schools worldwide. The PASCH-network offers students and teachers opportunities to learn the German language and lifestyle.

History

European Standard School was set up in 2001 in response to the need for a school using English as the medium of instruction but emphasizing equal proficiency in Bengali as necessary for a well-rounded education for Bangladeshi students.

The school was founded by a team of five members who form the Board of Management. They are Nurul Islam, Abdullah, Ranadev Dasgupta and Md. Morshedul Islam. The five members serve as principals in the five units of ESS.

The school operates under the banner of a limited company, European Scholastic Systems (ESS) Ltd, and each member of the Board of Management serves as a Director in the company.[1]
