Principal's Welcome

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the British School in Colombo website and thank you for your interest in our school. BSC is one of the leading international schools in the sub-continent, with an excellent reputation for providing an outstanding and thriving all-round education based on the English National Curriculum for 2 to 18-year-olds.

We are proud of our academic results and our success at placing students in top universities around the world. Of course, a good school is far more than simply academic results. We believe BSC provides an outstanding all-round education so that all our students thrive and blossom, enabled to be the best that they can be.

Our students are at the centre of everything we do

A child’s education is not a dress rehearsal; they only get one chance. That is why a good education is crucial for the well-being and fulfilment of our children. As society continues to change, it is important that schools provide a safe and stable environment where all young people feel valued and where they can learn and achieve. I believe the high-quality teaching and learning which is at the heart of BSC ensures that every child fulfils or exceeds their potential.

Outstanding wider learning opportunities

The British School in Colombo provides a very stimulating learning environment that develops outstanding young people who are moral, respectful and have a strong sense of identity. The school is a busy place, where students engage in a wide range of activities before and after school. Our aim is to ensure that all students find their hidden talents.

Sense of community and belonging

Whether you are new to Colombo or are returning to your home country after some years away, a warm and friendly welcome awaits you at BSC. The PTA is an active association of parents, working to bring our diverse community together. Whether you plan to stay for two years or twenty years, there is a special place for you at BSC and I know you will thoroughly enjoy your time with the BSC family.

I look forward to meeting you in the future.

My kindest regards

Mrs Hannah Wells
Principal
