INTERNATIONAL PRIMARY SCHOOL
INTRODUCTION Royal Institute International School of Higher Education was founded in 1971 with a mission to provide secondary and tertiary education to Sri Lankan as well as foreign students. It has been conducting full-time courses of study for both G.C.E. O/Level and A/Level Examinations. Over the years the Institute has expanded its role and scope beyond its original mission and among many other programmes, established the Branch School in Nugegoda to provide quality education from the Nursery upto Cambridge A/Level examinations and the Havelock Road International School at which has classes from the nursery upto London O/L and A/L. Recently established branch school in Maharagama teaches from the Nursery upto Edexcel A/L examinations and Sri Lankan A/L (English Medium) examinations. The higher education wing of Royal Institute, Royal Institute of Colombo, offers courses leading to prestigious and internationally reputed degrees of the University of London.
Royal Institute is an approved examination centre Edexcel International and University of Cambridge.
OBJECTIVES We believe that a child's educational and personal development depends to a great extent on the early years of schooling. Our aim is therefore to implement programmes not only to equip the child with knowledge and skills but also to help them attain high intellectual and moral standards for the total development of the child. However, the highest priority will be given to academic excellence and with that in view we have recruited our academic staff from among those fully qualified and experienced.
ACADEMIC PROGRAMME The curriculum is based on the British National Curriculum as eventually students prepare themselves for Cambridge / London O/Level and A/Level examinations. Simultaneously, students are encouraged to uphold traditional Sri Lankan values. The medium of instruction is English as the need for education in the English medium has become extremely important in the present context. Even the activities of the kids in their very formative years in the Nursery classes are directed in the English Language. Our overriding priority is to provide quality education.
The following subjects are available to students as appropriate from Grade 1 to A/L
Special emphasis is given to English, Mathematics and Science, which are key subjects that help children in studying most other subjects. Children in the Nursery classes will be taught social skills, exposed to sensorial apparatus to learn numbers and language and encouraged to develop creativity through craft work.
Comprehensive use of modern teaching aids including , video equipment and computers is a special feature of our academic programme.
COMPUTER UNIT The school has several fully equipped computer laboratories where students are exposed to computer education from grade 1.
