Founder of the institution, M. M. Ronak, said that the main basis of this success is their consistent efforts to improve the language skills of the students.

This process of learning through sports increases their curiosity and self-expression skills.”
He also said that the curriculum has been arranged in an attractive and effective manner according to each grade, so that the students can improve through interactive and action-based learning.
Following this success, a total of 11 students have qualified to represent Bangladesh in the 2026 Asian Spelling Bee Championship to be held in Shanghai.
