A missionary-run school and college in Rajshahi city launched more than 30 years after the establishment of the Catholic diocese is committed to imparting human values as well as offering a solid academic education to Bangladeshi students.
Holy Cross Brothers, well known for their education apostolate, officially started their new ministry in Rajshahi on Jan. 18 with the aim of providing an inclusive education, welcoming new students at Holy Cross School and College in Rajsha-hi Diocese.
The educational institution started its journey with 106 students as the first Catholic missionary-run school and college in Rajshahi metropolitan city. Initially, it is admitting stu-dents at nursery, kindergarten, first, third, fourth and sixth gra-des but it will be gradually up-graded to 12th grade.
“Our first consideration is to ensure that pupils can learn in an open and student-friendly envi-ronment so that they can learn values. We want students to be 100% free from private depend-ence and attend class 100%,” said Brother Placid Rebeiro, principal of the institute.
“Students can learn leader-ship through humanitarian, moral development and extracurricular activities. In a word, we want to ensure an environment in which a fully fledged human child grows up, and we are committed to that.”
