We would also like to

Language & Culture, where in the last 13 years a significant number of the
Bangladeshi English Medium school’s students have participated in Albania,
Australia, Germany, Mongolia, Morocco, Philippine, Romania, Thailand and
Turkey. In addition, these events and participation are being organized and
sponsored by International
Turkish Hope School since the birth of Bangla Olympiad.
ITHS
always has been expressing profound admiration to the heroic language martyrs
who had enabled the World to celebrate the 21st February as the
International Mother Language Day since its establishment. As the day is being
celebrated enthusiastically in different parts of Bangladesh with various
cultural activities, ITHS also organizes such cultural events in order for the
students to be mindful of rich Bangla Language and culture. Evidently, this
philosophy and awareness programs have been playing a significant role in their
upbringing and providing an opportunity to display our heritage in
International Festival of Language and Culture platforms.
