Chittagong Grammar School

What Chittagong Grammar School does

Chittagong Grammar School (CGS) is a private K-12 educational institution founded in 1992 and headquartered in Chattogram, Bangladesh, operating across three physical campuses that serve Lower School (Kinder through Class 5), Middle School (Class 6-8), and Upper School (Class 9-12) divisions. The school delivers the Cambridge International curriculum, with documented O-Level and A-Level examination cohorts of 142, 106, and 72 candidates respectively in 2025, and reports a 96% O-Level pass rate and 70% A*-B ratio. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring tuition and school fees, with pricing not publicly disclosed and admissions managed via an online portal.

The broader CGS brand has expanded beyond the core Chattogram campus through affiliated institutions: CGS Dhaka (a Dhaka-based campus), CGS National Curriculum (a non-Cambridge track), and CGS Foundation / CGS Community School (an early-childhood and primary segment). The school layers its academic program with an extracurricular ecosystem that includes Round Square international conferences, Model United Nations, Duke of Edinburgh's Awards, athletics, school clubs, after-school programs, outdoor education, and cultural programs, marketed under a "Golden Triangle" community model linking school, students, and parents. Academic results, including 46% of O-Level candidates attaining 5As or more, are positioned as the primary value proposition.

The school's technology stack comprises an Enterprise Resource Planning system (cgschittagong.eshkul.com) for administrative and student management, alongside division-specific Learning Management Systems for Upper School (uas.cgs.edu.bd) and Middle School (mas.cgs.edu.bd). Customer acquisition is community-led, relying on word-of-mouth referrals within the Chattogram community, supported by a website, newsletters, and active social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. CGS employs 319 staff across its operations and does not disclose revenue or accept external funding.
