Ideal School & College (Bengali: আইডিয়াল স্কুল অ্যান্ড কলেজ), formerly known as Ideal High School or Motijheel Ideal School (its name up to 1990), is an educational institution in Bangladesh established in 1965. Although the school was set up to cater for the children of surrounding areas, students come from all parts of Dhaka.
In the SSC examination of 2008, it became the most successful school in the country in terms of the number of students achieving GPA 5. In 2009 it achieved the highest percentage of both GPA 5 and passing rate. Ideal School and College have three campuses around Dhaka in Motijheel, Banasree and recently opened in Mugda.
History
The school was founded on 15 March 1965. Following the inauguration, till 1968 it was a junior school. In 1972 the school was converted into a high school. The students from the school participated in Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examination (O-level equivalent) for the first time in 1973 and earned an extraordinary success for the very first time.
During the first 25 years, the school kept its growth as a high school only (10 years of formal education according to the Bangladeshi Standards). Following the demand and the requests from the guardians, a college (11th and 12th year of formal education according to the Bangladeshi Standards) for female students was added in 1991.
To make room for more students the administration opened a new branch on the occasion of the 30th anniversary in 1996. That branch started its activities at Rampura with 702 students. Faizur Rahman is the founder-headmaster of the institution. seeing the request of people, the government has granted 1 acre and 6 Katha or 402m2 for a very new branch in Mugda.In 2011, the third branch of Ideal School and College started its journey.
