Choosing an English medium school in Gazipur
Nexus Grammar School is an English medium school in Joydebpur, Gazipur, Bangladesh, teaching the British Pearson Edexcel curriculum from Pre-Play to O Levels since 2018. Here is a simple checklist to help you choose the right school for your child, and how NGS measures up.
Seven things to check in any school
Every family wants the best school for their child, and the best school is the one that fits your child. These are the questions we suggest asking at every school you visit, including ours.
- English is really the classroom language. Ask what language teachers use during lessons and at play. Children become fluent when they hear and use English all day, not only in English class.
- A recognised British curriculum. An English medium school should follow a British curriculum, such as Pearson Edexcel or Cambridge, that leads to O Levels.
- A clear way of teaching reading. Ask how young children learn to read English. A structured phonics method gives children a strong, confident start.
- One school for the whole journey. Changing schools part-way is hard on children. Check that the school continues to the classes your child will need later.
- Easy to reach every day. A long daily journey tires young children. Look at the location, and whether the school offers transport.
- Teachers who keep you informed. Good schools treat guardians as partners, with regular updates on how your child is doing.
- You can see it for yourself. Never choose a school from a brochure alone. Visit, meet the teachers and watch a class.

English medium or English version?
Many parents in Gazipur ask us about the difference. English version schools teach the Bangladesh national curriculum in English. English medium schools follow a British curriculum, such as Pearson Edexcel, and prepare students for internationally recognised O Level examinations.
At Nexus Grammar School, English is not just a subject. It is the language children learn, play and think in every day, which is why our students grow into confident English speakers.
