Vision
The aim of this institution is committed to carrying out the ministry of Jesus Christ in the education of youth. As a catholic community, we prepare students of character who achieve the highest standard of excellence and model faith, academic achievement, integrity, trust, honor, a logical social awareness and above all sensitivity towards the others. Honest thinking, open expression and a courageous stance on all issues are what St. Gregory’s High School English Version aspires to achieve.
Mission
We believe that all children can learn once they are given the opportunity in an appropriate productive learning environment. As a result we create a community of life-long learners through integrity student-based learning, curriculum-based learning and life experience.
“Whatsoever one would understand what he hears must hasten to put into practice what he has heard.” This is the simplest principle behind the choice of St. Gregory’s High School English Version.
Parents who wish to see their children grow into rational beings rather than memorizing machines find an intellectual companion in St. Gregory’s which is a fresh diversion from the conventional system ensuring the enhancement of the child’s capacity to think, to analyze and to act rationally. The best way to free ourselves from our limitations is to first recognize them. St. Gregory’s High School English Version gives each child ample opportunities to recognize his weaknesses, discover his strength and march ahead with renewed vigor and a sense of direction.
With the phase of time people modify, some for the betterment of life and some for the betterment of time. Man has broken the boundaries of many walls of superstitions and reached such heights as mere imagination. St. Gregory’s High School English Version aims at nurturing and moldings its children in a way so that they not only fantasize for a better world but also be able to land into that world of fantasy to get them turned into reality to the rest of the world and came up as icons.
FOUNDER
St. Gregory English Version School was a dream, a dream that walked out of its dreamland and is standing in the heart of old Dhaka as a form of reality today. A reality conceived out of the vast experience of training young minds to meet global challenges by the founder Br. Robi Purification CSC. It was establish in the year 2008.
Since the year 2008 till today St. Gregory English Version have been proving itself as the best school among all other schools giving competition to it. It started its journey with four teachers, two staffs, an assistant headmaster and seventy four students. No books, no copies, just few materials of primary education. The initial motto of the school was to make the kids find studies interesting than frightening. So we made it easier with the means of digital method that is a projector. With the help of projector the kids learnt number, alphabets, rhymes, song and also different vocabularies. They find it not only interesting but also educative. Whatever they saw they tried to fit it in their brain for a long time.
The first class of the school was Nursery, with two sections, Lotus and Rose which started its first academic year an 3rd January 2008.
The following year 2009 one more class was introduced, KG with two more sections and two new teachers. Gradually with each passing year one new class with its two sections were announced.

We have got 100% pass in the primary education completion examination. We have already introduced our next class that is class VI in 2015. The school occupies almost 560 students with four religious Brothers, twenty-eight teachers, an office staff, four working staffs and many helping hands.
