Royal Institute International School is a private sector educational institute in Sri Lanka providing primary and secondary education.[1]

In addition to the Royal Institute main school at Havelock Town, Colombo, it has branch schools in Nugegoda, Maharagama, Gampaha which provide mixed education while the branch school in Maya Avenue is exclusively for girls.[2]

History of Royal Institute

The roots of Royal Institute go back to 1971[3] when its founder and current Chairman, G. T. Bandara, commenced preparing students for local A levels examinations and undergraduate degrees (external) of the University of Peradeniya in Physical and Biological Sciences.[citation needed]

Royal Institute International School of Higher Education was established in 1982[3] as a private limited liability company to provide international education by introducing London O level and A level courses.[citation needed]

With a view to provide a continuity of education up to tertiary level, after negotiating with the University of London, the Institute commenced preparing students for the internationally reputed degrees of the University of London in 1991.[3]

As a part of the general development plan to expand activities further, a branch school was established in Nugegoda[4] in 1993 to provide primary education which has since been upgraded to a fully fledged International School. In the year 2005 another branch was established in Maharagama[5] followed by starting an International girls school[6] in Colombo 6 in 2008 in order to accommodate the aspirations of certain parents who wished to educate their daughters. In 2013 another branch was opened in Gampaha.[7]
