The school had been developing under many principals over the years, the present principal Mr. D. Gamini Suraweera is highly engaged in the development of the school. Not only we want to improve our students’ lives, but we also hope to contribute to the cause of education.
We believe that education should take into account everything students experience during each moment of their time at school. Deciding what we intend students to learn and develop, how we will implement the curriculum so that students make progress in their areas of learning and then how we will evaluate the impact of the curriculum by checking what students know and can do.
Core Knowledge is a springboard for learning that provides the foundation for a sound, well-rounded education in the arts, humanities and sciences. It is specifically designed to bring out the best in every student from every background.
Immersion-based learning means learning a language in the most authentic and natural way possible. It’s a great way to learn because it allows you to truly experience almost all aspects of life in the language you’re learning.
We also believe in our students. For more than 65 years, we’ve been helping students connect ideas and opportunity. We know the difference the right college can make. That’s why we take time to get to know each of our students and each of our families. We ask questions. We listen. We mentor. In the end, we empower students and their families to chart a path from where they are to where they want to be. We love what we do because we know when students discover the best in themselves, colleges will too.
Kelani College is renowned for academic excellence. It encourages curious minds amongst pupils from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. So much of what makes Kelani College exceptional is the people who are a part of the school. Our teachers nurture independence of ideas and encourage innovation. Our pupils develop their own passions and interests, whilst collaborating in outreach work that prepares them for compassionate leadership in an increasingly global society.
Our founder was a visionary who revolutionised education. We seek to continue his tradition of looking ahead.
Academic success depends on a love of learning shared between pupils and their teachers. The school seeks to explore each subject in richness and depth, extending study well beyond the curriculum.
Discussions and debates, unique to Kelani Maha Vidyalaya, helps pupils think critically and articulate their thoughts confidently.
Working in partnership with a wide range of charitable organisations and local schools, Kelani Maha Vidyalaya is committed to an extensive programme of outreach.
Behalf of Kelani College, Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, I warmly welcome you to our school! Kelani College is an exceptional learning community. We are about to embark upon a new chapter as a National School and an
exciting year, with great enthusiasm. Our skilled and devoted staff is working hard to prepare rewarding learning experiences for all students and hold the highest expectation for them to attain their personal full potential.
The golden years in school are not about lessons and homework, but about growing and excelling in every way possible, to fit into the fast changing and fast progressing world. Today’s change is bigger than yesteryears. We are witnessing unparallel changes in every field, where there is struggle for existence, where the strongest and fittest is accepted and appreciated.

technological supremacy and help them integrate it with values, as we firmly believe that every child has the potential to achieve something significant.

My message to you is to express my appreciation for the loyal support and forbearance our students, staff, parents and alumni have given us; I hope the students who pass through the various courses offered
in the school will make full use of their time acquiring a knowledge which will reflect credit on themselves and Kelani College as their place of learning.

We look forward to meeting you soon.
At Kelani College we see the curriculum as something that embraces more or less everything that a pupil does. You may ask why we see the curriculum that way. For many schools, the curriculum is just the academic part of what a pupil studies. But that really doesn’t do justice to what an education is.
