Ideal School And College

What Ideal School And College does

Ideal School And College is a privately operated Bangladeshi educational institution founded on 15 March 1965 in the Motijheel AGB Colony of Dhaka. It delivers primary, secondary (SSC) and higher secondary (HSC) education, having progressively upgraded from a primary school (1965) to junior school (1968), high school (1972), and adding a girls' college section in the 1990-91 academic year. The institution operates three physical campuses — Motijheel (headquarters), Banasree and Mugda — each running parallel Bangla and English medium streams across Day and Morning shifts, giving it a broad footprint across central Dhaka.

Its core digital infrastructure is the school website (iscm.edu.bd), built and maintained by an external vendor (Light Technologies), which acts as a centralised hub for admissions, a digital noticeboard with PDF/Image attachments, a student portal, photo galleries and event listings. The website supports a lottery-based online admission process (used for the 2026 academic year), multi-stage waiting list publication, and publishes ongoing administrative notices for parents and students.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model with no third-party resellers or franchise channels. Revenue is generated through tuition and school fees (recurring) and ancillary academic service charges such as exam fees, though no pricing is publicly disclosed. The customer base consists of SSC-level students, HSC-level students (including female college students), parents/guardians as fee-payers, and scholarship-eligible candidates. All operations are domestic to Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Revenue model

1. Tuition and school fees (inferred): Primary revenue stream not publicly disclosed, but as a Bangladeshi secondary institution running parallel Bangla and English medium shifts across SSC and HSC, revenue is generated through recurring student tuition fees, admission fees and ancillary academic charges.
2. Exam fees and academic service charges (inferred): Charges for Half Yearly and Annual examinations and other academic services (results, certificates, transcripts) — inferred from notices referencing "টিউশন ফি" (tuition fee) and "রেজাল্ট" categories.
