BAF Shaheen College Dhaka (Bengali: বিএএফ শাহীন কলেজ ঢাকা), also known as BAFSD or Dhaka Shaheen is a co-educational Bangladeshi college (grades KG-XII) established and controlled by the Bangladesh Air Force. It is managed by the Bangladesh Air Force and primarily for the children of Air Force personnel. But students from the civilian section can also study at the college.
History
The institution was established on 1 March 1960 in Jahangir Gate, Dhaka Cantonment, Dhaka, for the children of the Air Force personnel as PAF Shaheen School. Originally English-medium, Bangla-medium was introduced in parallel in 1967. After the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971, the school was renamed as BAF Shaheen High School. BAF Shaheen High School was renamed BAF Shaheen College Dhaka when it began offering intermediate courses in 1977. The college has classes from kindergarten to Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSC). BAF Shaheen College Dhaka subsequently expanded its curriculum and facilities, accommodating more students and introducing higher grades.[1]
Academics
Teaching is done in Bengali and English version. The institution has three parts:
- Primary Division (KG to Class V)
- Junior Secondary and Secondary (6th to 10th Class)
- College (Class XI & XII)
Shaheen School Authority releases an admission circular for KG class every year (both an English version and Bengali-medium), and the college authority publishes an admission circular every year after the publication of the Secondary School Certificate results. New students (both boys and girls) are admitted to the 11th grade via online applications.
