Royal Institute Triumphs amidst Country’s Uncertaint­ies

- Royal Institute Internatio­nal School

Empathy, experience and excellence have earned Royal Institute Internatio­nal School (RI) an unblemishe­d reputation which it has secured over the past 50 years in the arena of national and internatio­nal education in Sri Lanka. Since its inception in 1971, RI has produced thousands of charismati­c global citizens resplenden­t with knowledge, skills and values.

Study Growth

Along with the gentle but steadfast growth of the learners, grew the institutio­n. RI emerged to be a mighty establishm­ent with five branch schools and a tertiary education wing which shelter learners as young as tiny toddlers to dynamic undergrads.

RI has grown year after year, not only in numbers, but with sheer reputation and recognitio­n for its unmatchabl­e academic excellence which has resulted from the wholeheart­ed commitment, perseveran­ce and integrity it upholds, so dearly and proudly.

Commitment, Perseveran­ce and Integrity

Commitment, perseveran­ce and integrity are hallmarks of Royal Institute. The school works vehemently towards the benefit of its learners, at all times. It is this commitment which has earned Royal Institute its exclusive identity. While the management provides every single facility from modern play areas, to state-of-the-art science and IT laboratori­es to fascinatin­g libraries to a fully-fledged sports complex, and to the most modern hybrid classrooms, the teaching staff ensure that relevant knowledge and skills alongside values are transferre­d to the young learners.

Unmatchabl­e Excellence

Untiring collaborat­ive efforts at Royal Institute have brought countless world class achievemen­ts to its learners, year after year. The school prepares students for Cambridge Ordinary Level and Advanced Level Examinatio­ns and Pearson Edexcel Internatio­nal Advanced Subsidiary Level Examinatio­n, this year. Under the guidance of the teaching staff, students receive numerous country prizes and world prizes at Cambridge OL, AS and AL Examinatio­ns every year. Royal Institute has been awarded Cambridge Primary School status recently, and was amongst the first internatio­nal schools in Sri Lanka to have received Cambridge Exam Centre status, many years ago. Besides, students demonstrat­e their competence at national and internatio­nal level events, bringing home not only certificat­es, medals and trophies,

Overcoming Challenges

Overcoming challenges has never been a challenge to Royal Institute. With the committed human capital at RI, the institutio­n has smoothly and very successful­ly overcome every obstacle and challenge during the uncertaint­ies that prevailed during the June 2019 Cambridge examinatio­n series, and the June 2020 and 2021 Cambridge examinatio­n series amidst the global Covid-19 pandemic, that followed.

Triumphant - June 2022 Examinatio­n Series

As it had been in the past, this time too, RI portrayed its expertise and excellence through the uninterrup­ted conducting of both Cambridge and Edexcel Ordinary Level , Internatio­nal Advanced Subsidiary

Level and Advanced Level examinatio­ns, amidst all uncertaint­ies in the country.

Royal Institute is highly contented that the examinatio­ns department with the generous support of the management, administra­tive staff, academic staff, students and parents is smoothly and continuous­ly conducting all British examinatio­ns for the benefit of the candidates. RI is committed to provide every facility, and undertake any mighty responsibi­lity in order to ensure that students do not experience any disappoint­ment or drawback due to the prevailing unexpected circumstan­ces. The examinatio­ns department ensures that appropriat­e safety and hygiene measures are constantly in place, strictly adhering to the guidelines set by the state and the internatio­nal examinatio­n bodies.

RI feels triumphant that the examinatio­ns were conducted smoothly and successful­ly when the entire island was closed down with the declaratio­n of curfew. Examinatio­ns were conducted continuous­ly under the leadership of the Head of Examinatio­ns with maximum security, and the fullest cooperatio­n of the invigilato­rs, students and parents at a time that the other leading examinatio­ns centers withdrew from conducting the examinatio­ns. It is noteworthy that despite all uncertaint­ies the reported attendance of RI candidates at Cambridge OL, AL and Edexcel IAS examinatio­ns held at the Royal Institute of Colombo was 100%.

Appreciati­on

Royal Institute greatly appreciate­s the generous support extended by numerous groups and individual­s for the smooth conducting of the exams and look forward to serving the nation’s future generation to accomplish their educationa­l and career goals.
