St. Placid’s School and College Admission 2027: Circular Status, Classes & Guide
Circular status: St. Placid’s School & College has not published its admission notice for the 2027 academic year yet. Its website and official Facebook page show only routine notices and the Class 11 (2026–27) admission so far. We will update this page with dates, seats and fees as soon as the notice appears.
St. Placid’s School & College in Patherghata, Chattogram is one of the oldest schools in Bangladesh. Missionaries started it in 1853, and since 1922 it has been run by the Brothers of Holy Cross. Today it has more than 3,000 students and teaches from Class 1 to Class 12 (HSC). Because so many families in Chattogram want a seat here, it pays to be ready before the circular comes out.

Like other mission schools, St. Placid’s welcomes students of all religions. The school started as an English-medium institution and switched to Bangla medium after independence.
When Will the 2027 Circular Come Out?
The new school year starts in January, so most private and mission schools in Chattogram publish their admission notices between late October and December. Some mission schools in the country have already opened their 2027 forms, which means St. Placid’s notice could come at any time in the coming weeks. Check two places regularly:
- The notice board on the school website (stplacid.edu.bd)
- The school’s official Facebook page, St. Placid’s School & College, Chattogram
Avoid paying anyone who promises a seat “through contact”. Admission is done only through the school’s own notice and office.
Which Classes Usually Take New Students?
Class 1 is the main entry class, and a few seats can open in higher classes when students leave. Class 11 admission is separate and runs through the national online XI admission system after the SSC result. Here is how the different entry points usually work:
| Entry point | How it usually works | When |
|---|---|---|
| Class 1 | Main intake; selection rules are set in the school’s own circular | Notice expected Nov–Dec 2026 |
| Class 2 to 9 | Only if seats are vacant; usually a written test | Same circular, if seats exist |
| Class 11 | National online XI admission (xiclassadmission.gov.bd) | After the SSC result each year |
Please treat the first two rows as a general guide, not as St. Placid’s confirmed 2027 rules. The real method, seats and fees will be in the circular.
Age Rule to Keep in Mind for Class 1
For the 2027 academic year, the government rule for Class 1 is a minimum age of 5 years and a maximum of 7 years on 1 January 2027. Most schools follow this rule closely.
Check the exact age now: our School Admission Age Calculator shows age in years, months and days and tells you which class your child fits for 2027.
Documents to Prepare Now
You can collect these papers today, so you are not rushing when the form deadline is only a few days long:
- Online birth registration certificate in English, with the same spelling you will use on the form
- Four or five recent passport-size photos of the child
- Photocopies of both parents’ NID cards
- For Class 2 and above: the last report card and a transfer certificate from the current school
How to Prepare Your Child for the Test
If St. Placid’s holds a written test for a vacant class, it will usually cover Bangla, English and Math from the class the child is studying now. Our class-wise guides use the 2027 official marks split and include practice questions:
- Class 2 Admission Suggestion
- Class 3 Admission Suggestion
- Class 5 Admission Suggestion
- Class 6 Admission Suggestion
For Class 1, there is no syllabus to study. Help your child speak clearly, read the Bangla and English alphabet and count to 50. That is more than enough for a short interview, if the school holds one.
Keep a Back-up Option
Seats at well-known schools are limited, so many parents also apply to government schools through the central lottery and to one or two other private schools. Applying to several schools is allowed as long as you follow each school’s rules.
Plan your back-up: see the Govt School Admission Circular 2027 for the lottery dates, and find other Chattogram schools in our School Finder.
