About Whitestone

Learning on solid ground

Whitestone Learning Network Ltd is the family behind two Cambridge international schools in Dhaka, an online academy and a Jolly Phonics resource store. Each has its own team and character, and all of them share one idea of what a good education is for.

Why a network

A child’s learning doesn’t stop at the school gate

Children learn in classrooms, but also at home and, more and more, on a screen. Whitestone brings these places together so they pull in the same direction.

Our schools, Wheaton and Guidance, are where children spend most of their learning day, following the Cambridge curriculum within a framework of Islamic values, with Hifz programmes alongside. Pedago Academy teaches live classes online, from English and maths to cadet preparation, and keeps adding new departments. Jolly Learning Bangladesh puts Jolly Phonics books and training into the hands of parents and teachers, so that early reading is supported at home as well as at school.

Travellers have long stacked white stones to mark the way for the people who come after them. That is the idea behind our name: each step placed carefully, so the next generation can find the path.

What we believe

Academic rigour and character, taught together

01

The whole child

Knowledge, character, faith and wellbeing matter together. We don’t trade one for another.

02

Rigour with care

High expectations, set by teachers who know each child and want them to succeed.

03

Rooted in values

Islamic values of honesty, discipline, kindness and service shape how we teach and how we lead.

04

Built to last

Like the stone we’re named after: solid, simple and made to serve the next generation.
