The Monosapara Boarding School has received a positive evaluation from the Adventist Accrediting Association (AAA). The AAA team, comprised of education experts, conducted a comprehensive assessment of the Monosapara boarding school in August 2023 to ensure that the institution meets the required educational standards.
Monoshapara
The Monosapara Boarding School is located on the northern border of Bangladesh with India, in the province of Mymensingh, approximately 193 km north of the capital city, Dhaka. Students here can receive complete primary education (grades 1-5) and full secondary education (grades 6-12). Currently, more than 600 children study here, with 159 of them supported by the BanglaKids program donors.
The school is situated on a hill, with beautifully landscaped greenery, flowers, and palm trees on the campus. Rice, various vegetables, coconut palms, mango trees, and breadfruit trees are cultivated in the school area. Four years ago, in collaboration with BanglaKids, the school invested in the restoration of 7 ponds, allowing for the breeding of up to 20,000 fish. The school enjoys a pleasant microclimate and utilizes renewable energy sources.
