Motto- सा विद्या या विमुक्तये (Learning Leads to Emancipation)

Notre Dame College, Dhaka (also known as NDC) is a Catholic higher secondary school (In the Indian subcontinent, as in the UK, higher secondary schools comprising the 11th and 12th years of education are often referred to as colleges) as well as a degree college affiliated to the National University. It is one of the oldest educational institutions in Dhaka, Bangladesh established in 1949. This institution is administered by the Congregation of Holy Cross, Society of Priests. In 2009 the institution celebrated its 60th anniversary.

It was established by the Roman Catholic Priests from the Congregation of Holy Cross because of the crisis in the education sector of newborn East Pakistan. It was known as the St. Gregory College, an extension of the St. Gregory's School, which was also established by the mission. It was relocated to its current location in Motijheel in 1954 and renamed to Notre Dame College. The new name was a tribute to the University of Notre Dame, the alma mater of many of the faculty members.

Since the 1980s, Notre Dame College gained reputation of the best institution for higher secondary education in the country. The highest number of perfect GPA holders in national examination (H.S.C.) and the exceptional success of its students in university admission tests bear testimony to this. [Wikipedia]

Motto- Diligite Lumen Sapientiae (Love, Light, Wisdom also translated as Love the Light of Wisdom)

Saint Placid's High School is a Catholic secondary school in Chittagong, Bangladesh, operated by the Congregation of Holy Cross. The school was founded in 1853 as Bandel Catholic Free School by the Anglo Belgian Benedictines. Two years later it was transferred to the Congregation of Holy Cross. It was renamed St. Placid's School in 1883, after a Benedictine Saint of the 6th century.

Throughout recent history, the success of such schools was due in part to what the educated classes saw as the failure of the public education system. St. Placid's as well as similar schools filled the gap between what was seen by the educated and affluent members of society as the best education for obtaining the most desirable jobs in the government and business, and what the public education offered.
