Six things
Ticks stay on this device only. The list is ours, not a school document.
What children wear.
Nothing until KG I; a uniform and sportswear from then on. The rules change at Class IV and again for the senior classes.
Playgroup and Nursery
No uniform. Children wear casual clothes.
KG I to Class III
The school uniform and sportswear, both compulsory.
Class IV onwards
Girls wear salwar-kameez. Boys wear full trousers.
Classes IX to XII
As above. Black sweaters are allowed in winter; hoodies and jackets are not.
For every class
Footwear: white keds or sneakers with white socks, for all students and especially Classes X to XII. Sweaters: red and black sweaters are available at the school in the winter season. Sportswear: bought from the school, worn on the days a class has Games.
Where to have the uniform made
From KG I, uniforms are made to the school's specifications at its tailoring house, which has two branches.
Gulshan branch
Pladium Market, Shop 19, Gulshan-2
Bashundhara branch
Rupayan Shopping Square, Shop 310, Bashundhara
Both branches' telephone numbers are on the school's own uniform page; they will be printed here once the school confirms them.
The class bands are the school's own: KG I, Class IV and Classes IX to XII. No colours are published for the uniform itself, so none are given here.
From the school's uniform page, re-read on 11 October 2026.
Books, copies and sportswear come from the school.
The school has its own bookshop. Parents collect the yearly books and exercise copies there at the beginning of each session.
Bookshop hours: 8.30 am until 1.00 pm. The days are not published, so ask.
Sportswear is bought from the school as well. There is a cafeteria on the campus.
