History of Royal Institute
editRoyal 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]
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.[3]
As a part of the general development plan to expand activities further, a branch school was established in Nugegoda[5] in 1993 to provide primary education which has since been upgraded to a fully fledged International School.[6] In the year 2005, another branch was established in Maharagama[7] followed by starting an International girls school[8] 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.[9]
