Who We Are

The Gregorian English Language Club (GELC) is one of the most prestigious and longstanding clubs of the Gregorian community, dedicated to nurturing a passion for the English language and culture. Founded nearly 30 years ago by a Holy Cross Brother who was an enthusiastic linguist, the club has grown into a dynamic platform for students to explore, express, and excel in English communication. Over the decades, GELC has organized 6 National English Carnivals and 5 Intra-Gregorian Language Festivals, creating opportunities for thousands of participants to showcase their linguistic talents. The club proudly hosts Language Championships, English Olympiads, and 14 consecutive segments covering various aspects of English learning — from literature and grammar to public speaking and creative writing. GELC continues its mission to empower learners, celebrate linguistic excellence, and build a community of confident communicators who carry the spirit of the Gregorian tradition forward.

Founded by passionate students and supported by dedicated faculty, we have grown into one of Bangladesh's most recognized student-led English language communities, bringing together thousands of participants from over 100 institutions nationwide.
