Mixed School
1982
A CIS education should be challenging, inspiring and stimulating, enabling all our students to become responsible resourceful citizens and to achieve excellence, both in their studies and in their wider lives.
Colombo International School was founded in 1982, in response to the growing demand for co-educational, English-medium, high-quality education within Colombo. From the start, CIS has been located in Gregory's Road, Colombo 7 (formally known as Cinnamon Gardens), which is generally regarded as one of the most desirable, safe, attractive and quiet residential locations in the city. In 1998 the School opened CIS Kandy.
The ethos and curriculum of CIS Kandy are identical to the main Colombo branch and students are prepared for Edexcel's IGCSE and A-Level examinations. A full range of subjects is offered and students have entered major universities in the UK, USA, Australia, Singapore, India and elsewhere.
CIS has established a fine academic record with a curriculum based on the British GCSE, AS and A2 Level qualifications. It is proud of its extra-curricular programme which offers a full range of sports, drama, music, social service and other activities. The school is justly proud of its excellent facilities, offering its students the very best in modern equipment and technology.
The qualified and experienced academic staff of over 200 are a stimulating blend of Sri Lankan and expatriate teachers. The Principal and Education Consultant of the School are both education specialists of British nationality.
From many different countries
We come to CIS
From the youngest to the oldest
This wish we all express.
That lit by the lamp of learning
Guided by the dove of peace
May our feelings of concord and unity increase.
So in work or sport together
We feel ourselves to be
More than mere individuals
But one community.
In our houses of four colours
We eagerly compete
In a school that proves a home from home
In comradeship, we meet.
And so we stand united
With colours red and white
In the shade of the mango
Strengthened by the Lion's might.
Thus in our life at CIS
We know ourselves to be
Undivided, international
A strong community.
