Founder Principal Kazim Eldes established ITHS in Dhaka in 1996.[1] The President of Turkey, Süleyman Demirel, a strong supporter of Turkish schools, officially inaugurated the school while on a state visit in March 1997.[2]
The school started as one campus in rented premises serving a small number of very young students.[1] It has since grown to eight campuses in three cities: two preschools, two junior sections (grades 1–5), and two senior sections (one boys, one girls) in the Gulshan and Uttara areas of Dhaka, a branch in Chittagong that spans from preschool through grade 12, and a preschool and junior section in Bogra. Combined enrollment has risen to 1,500 as of 2014.[3]
ITHS began construction of a purpose-built campus on two acres of land granted by the Bangladesh government,[4] located in Uttara Sector 4, in June 2002. Construction was finished in September 2005.[citation needed] Facilities include an extensive playground, football field, basketball court, conference hall, library, and computer and science lab. There are boys and girls hostels for boarders.[5] The school has six branches in Dhaka.[6] On 21 February 2010, President of Turkey, Adbullah Gul, visited the campus of the school.[7]
Following the 2016 Turkish coup d'état attempt; the Turkish ambassador to Bangladesh claimed the school was affiliated with Gülen movement; which he described as a terrorist organisation. Turkish school teachers, the school employed 33 Turkish nationals claimed they were being denied service by their embassy and one employee reported that the embassy confiscated his passport.[8] The school denied any connections.[9]
The school later[when?] changed its name to International Hope School Bangladesh.
