The British School in Colombo

Our Vision

The British School in Colombo should be the school of first choice for the discerning parent in the international school arena in Sri Lanka, offering students a broad and balanced education in an environment which compares favourably with the best international standards, and which prepares them to face the challenges of the global world confidently and effectively.

Mission

To deliver excellent quality in academic, extra-curricular and pastoral care to students through a team of highly motivated, competent local and expatriate staff, functioning within a state-of-the-art infrastructure. The British School in Colombo strives to model itself on and be inspired by the best of the British and European independent sector and as a result incorporates many management and evaluation tools developed in those systems. Thus, the British School in Colombo aims to provide the best possible educational experience for its students.

Aims

The school aims to ensure that students are allowed to develop at their own pace and to the very best of their abilities. We try to develop in each student the knowledge and skills to make them candidates for schools, universities and employment anywhere in the world. We also provide all students with the widest range of opportunities to build the confidence, independence and character necessary for their development into mature adults. This is achieved in an atmosphere where each student is protected and supported but is also allowed to learn from their mistakes. Taking part, trying ones best and supporting one another by recognising the needs of others are all keys to our aim of creating fully mature and independent young people.
