New Academic Year Begins at PHIS

A New Academic Year Begins at Pledge Harbor International School — Bangladesh’s Premier English Medium IB Boarding School

The halls of Pledge Harbor International School (PHIS) are alive with energy once again! As one of the most distinguished English Medium Boarding Schools in Bangladesh, PHIS has officially launched its new academic year — and it’s already shaping up to be a truly remarkable one.

A Community Reunited, A Mission Renewed

Our dedicated team of educators and dorm parents have returned to campus brimming with enthusiasm and purpose. From day one, the PHIS community dove headfirst into a thoughtfully designed orientation week — a tradition that reflects the very essence of what sets our school apart as a leading IB Boarding School in Dhaka.

The week was packed with:

• Team-building activities that strengthened bonds across our residential and academic staff
• Deep-dive sessions on the IB Philosophy, reinforcing our commitment to the International Baccalaureate framework that defines the PHIS academic identity
• Reflective sessions where faculty and dorm parents collectively recommitted to our school’s mission and vision
• Community meals and shared laughter — because at PHIS, genuine human connection is as important as academic excellence

Mental Wellness at the Heart of PHIS

One of the most impactful highlights of this year’s orientation was a full-day mental wellness workshop facilitated by Ms. Mahmuda, Mental Health Professional and CEO of Living with Wellness.

In line with PHIS’s holistic approach to education — a hallmark of quality English Medium Schools in Bangladesh — our educators and dorm parents explored:

• Identifying the signs and causes of physical, emotional, and behavioral stress
• Evidence-based strategies for managing stress in a boarding school environment
• Practical mindful grounding exercises and stress-relief techniques they can apply both personally and in their day-to-day interactions with students

This investment in staff well-being is a direct reflection of our belief that nurturing our educators means nurturing every student who walks through our doors.
