History
Oxford International School was founded in 1987 by the President of the school, Md. Shakawat Hossain. It followed the curriculum of the University of London O Levels (Edexcel) and then shifted to the University of Cambridge (Cambridge International Examination) in 2003. One of the Principals of OIS was Ian Burges, an ex-professor of the University of Cambridge UK. Beginning humbly with a single campus and a limited staff, OIS has moved into a modern spacious building. The Junior Section ( Playgroup to KG ) is located close by. It is one of the pioneers in GCE A Levels under CIE in Bangladesh. OIS is an attached center of CIE.
