With gradual advancement of the students in higher classes and with the launch of an English medium HSC Level program, the name of the school was changed to Manarat Dhaka International College in 1991.

A group of Islamic scholars under the guidance of the late Sheikh Fouad Abdulhameed Alkhateeb, the ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Bangladesh, strongly felt the necessity of establishing an educational institution where eternal values of Islam could be taught along with modern education.

With that view in mind, Manarat started its journey as an English medium institution under the curriculum of Cambridge International Examinations London with Islamic values at its bastion.

Although started in a hired house, it now owns three multi storied buildings and two big play grounds in front on an area of 2.7 acres of land.

Manarat holds the top position under "School and College Ranking – English" category.
