The signing ceremony between Glenrich International School (GIS) and the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) took place on Wednesday at the GIS campus in Dhaka to hone the students’ musical prowess.

Dignitaries from both institutions, including Shafaitul Islam, representative of ABRSM in Bangladesh, Ramesh Mudgal, principal of Glenrich International School, Kumkum Habiba Jahan, head of Junior School, Glenrich International School and Jahangir Kabir, head of operations in STS Capital were present to mark the occasion, read a press release.

Through this agreement with ABRSM, GIS students will have the privilege of being trained by highly experienced ABRSM coaches in the art of Piano, Guitar, and Violin.

These dedicated instructors will inspire and guide GIS students on a path of musical excellence, creating newer heights of co-curricular learning opportunities in Bangladesh.

Upon successfully completing their course, GIS students will have the opportunity to showcase their skills through ABRSM's internationally recognized assessment process, which can pave the way for them to earn a prestigious certification from the Board.

“This partnership marks a significant milestone for GIS, as we strive to provide holistic and comprehensive education to our students, stepping beyond the traditional means of learning”, said Ramesh Mudgal Principal, GIS.

“We are honoured to team up with ABRSM, a highly esteemed institution with a shared vision of fostering a deep appreciation for music. Together, we will hopefully cultivate a vibrant and nurturing musical community within our institute,” he added.

"We are optimistic regarding this collaboration with Glenrich International School”, said Shafaitul Islam, representative of ABRSM in Bangladesh.

Stressing the importance of access to top-quality music education for every individual, he said, “By combining our expertise and resources with their spirit to bring a landmark transformation in the local education sector, we will opt to create an enriching musical environment where students can flourish and realize their hidden potential.”

Glenrich International School envisions itself to be a leading educational institution in Bangladesh, committed to providing a comprehensive and nurturing learning environment for students.

Conversely, ABRSM, known as the United Kingdom's largest music education body and one of the world's leading music exam providers, holds over 650 thousand assessments annually in more than 90 countries.
