Dhaka Collegiate School (Bengali: ঢাকা কলেজিয়েট স্কুল) is a secondary school in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It is the oldest school in Dhaka. The school was established in Dhaka in July 1835 as an English seminary. It was the first government high school established by the British under the East India Company in the Bengal province for teaching English literature and Science. This was later named as Dhaka Collegiate School. Mr. Redge, an English missionary, acted as the first head master of the school. In its first batch it had Nawab of Dhaka Khwaja Abdul Ghani as a student. The foundation of Dhaka Intermediate College was laid down in 1841. The school separated from the college in 1908. Since then it has been a Zilla School, although it continues to be called Dhaka Collegiate School. Location[edit]

The school is located in Sadarghat crossing, west of Bahadur Shah Park and south of Jagannath University College, on the banks of the Buriganga River. Annual Sports function-2011[edit]

The president, Zillur Rahman, on Monday said Dhaka Collegiate School played a pioneering role in educating the people of this region, particularly the Muslims who lagged behind during the British rule. ‘Not only in the history of Dhaka, the contribution of this educational institution was also recognised by all in the history of the whole subcontinent,’ he said while speaking at a reunion marking the 175th founding anniversary of Dhaka Collegiate School. The Dhaka Collegiate School Alumni Association organised the function at Bangabandhu International Conference Center in the capital city. Chaired by the association president and also adviser to the prime minister HT Imam, the function was also addressed by national professor Kabir Chowdhury, Alumni Association general secretary Harun-or-Rashid, and former secretary and also chairman of the reunion organising committee Badiur Rahman. Addressing the function as chief guest, Zillur Rahman said that the development and progress of western education took place in the country following the path showed by Dhaka Collegiate School. ‘The institution made special contribution as a bridge between eastern and western education.’ He mentioned that some brilliant and scholarly personalities had used to teach in this school in the past, and they were able to prove their laudable credentials in their life. The president also mentioned that Ratnamoni Gupta was a noted former headmaster of the school from 1888-1896 and during his tenure students from this school stood first in the intermediate examination consecutively for eight years under the Calcutta University. He expressed the hope that all schools across the country would strive to achieve similar success imbibed with the glorious past of Dhaka Collegiate School. He recalled that noted personalities including scientist Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose, Meghnad Saha, poet Buddhadeb Bose, litterateur Saratchandra Chattapaddhaya, who studied in the school, later become world-famous scholars. Besides, president Zillur also recalled that anti-British ‘Biplobi’ Dinesh Gupta, Ft Lt Birshreshtha Motiur Rahman and martyred intellectual Munir Chowdhury, who were students of this school, made memorable contributions in their respective fields. He hoped that other educational institutions, like Dhaka Collegiate School, will guide the future generation and play historical role to establish Bangladesh in the world as a prestigious nation. Later, the President cut a giant cake marking the 175th anniversary of the school. In his presidential address, HT Imam recalled that traditional Dhaka Collegiate School, which was considered as the best school in the sub-continent, accorded reception to Noble laureate poet Rabindranath Tagore in 1926. He, however, expressed his dissatisfaction over the present result of the students from this school which achieved 98.12 per cent pass rate with 44 A+ out of 209 who came out successful in the SSC examination this year. HT Imam said teachers and students of this school should pay more attention to make better results in the coming days following its past tradition Headmasters and headmistresses[edit]
