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 in Havelock Town, Colombo, there are branch schools in Nugegoda, Maharagama, and Gampaha which provide co-ed education. Additionally, there is a girls’ school situated on Maya Avenue, Colombo 6.[2]

History

Royal Institute International School was founded in 1971 by G.T. Bandara.[3]

In 1982[3] it was registered as a private limited liability company, introducing London O-Level and A-Level courses to provide international education.[4]

Following negotiations, in 1991 the Institute began preparing students to receive degrees from the University of London, as a way to provide continuity of education up to tertiary level.[3]

Campuses

The main campus is located at No. 191, Havelock Road, Colombo 05. As a part of the general development plan to expand activities, a branch school was established in Nugegoda[5] in 1993 to provide primary education, and has since been upgraded to an international school.[6] In 2005, another branch was established in Maharagama[7] followed by starting an international girls school[8] in Colombo 6 in 2008 to accommodate the aspirations of parents who wished to educate their daughters. In 2013, another branch was opened in Gampaha.[9] Royal Institute International School emphasizes holistic education, balancing academic excellence with strong sports and leadership development.[10]

School motto

The school’s motto is “The light of Learning,” reflecting its commitment to illuminating minds through education.[11]

School flag

The school flag[12] is rectangular in shape and has the Royal Institute logo at the centre in dark brown on a cream background. The words “Royal Institute” are printed in dark brown at the bottom in Cooper Black font.
