Public school in Rajshahi, Bangladesh

Rajshahi Collegiate School (Bengali: রাজশাহী কলেজিয়েট স্কুল) is a public boys’ school located in Boalia Thana, at the heart of Rajshahi — a metropolitan city in northern Bangladesh.^[2] It is the oldest school in the country.^[3]

Rajshahi Collegiate School is the oldest educational institution in Rajshahi city. Rajshahi Collegiate School was established in 1828.^[4] The school was nationalised by the provincial government of Bengal and was converted into a government zilla (or district) school on 20 June 1836^[5]

In 1873 the Zilla School was given the status of an Intermediate College, and F.A. courses were introduced into its curriculum. With further development this college was accorded “first-grade rank” in 1878, which meant that it could teach B.A. courses and be affiliated to the University of Calcutta. Later the college part got separated and named as Rajshahi College.

After completing MA in philosophy from Presidency College, Kolkata in 1895, Khan Bahadur Ahsanullah went on to serve as the first Muslim headmaster of Rajshahi Collegiate School. He was active from 1904 to 1907.
