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, they have branch schools in Nugegoda, Maharagama, Gampaha which provide mixed education while the other branch school in Maya Avenue is exclusively for girls.[2]
Royal Institute International School was founded in 1971 by G.T. Bandara.[3]
Royal Institute International School of Higher Education was established in 1982 as a private limited liability company to provide international education by introducing London O level and A level courses.
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 degrees from the University of London in 1991.
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]
The school motto is "Light of learning"
The school flag,[8] rectangular in shape has the Royal Institute logo at the centre in dark brown on a cream background and the words “Royal Institute” in dark brown at the bottom printed in Cooper Black font.
