About JIS COLLEGE
Jahanara Israil School & College (JISC), the first and only private English version school and college situated in the southern part of Bangladesh, was established in 2010. It is a charitable, non-profit, non-commercial, and non-political educational institution. The governing body is led by Mr. Saleh M. Shelley as the Chairman of the Board of Trustees (BOT), an eminent patron of education, notable philanthropist, and widely experienced academician in the country. In the early 2000s, they dreamed of setting up a world-class academy as a center of excellence in school and college-level education in the private sector. Their dedication, tireless efforts, and hard work paved the way for the approval of the establishment of JISC.
Since there was no relevant option in this part of the country to set up and operate an English version school and college-level academic institution in the private sector, they took the entire responsibility on themselves and extended their best efforts in enacting it. Subsequently, a group of prominent local elites extended their hands in establishing this dream project of enlightening students.
In general, JISC is modeled on US schools and follows their academic features to some extends such as lesson plans, semester systems, and letter grades. When first introduced, its curricula for academic programs such as English I, English II, Phonics, and Saxon Math were largely modeled on the US curriculum. Later, the NCTB syllabus was adopted along with the Americanized syllabus. The institute delivers a substantial general education curriculum, has a strategic plan, and has initiated and implemented student instructional learning assessment for students up to Grade XII. It is also in the process of developing the infrastructure for the evaluation of institutional effectiveness for its institutional accreditation.
