Royal Institute: A unique school for A/L studies

A pioneer in international education, Royal Institute stands number one in providing a comprehensive and disciplined education system for students to achieve academic distinction. Apart from Royal Institute International School of Higher Education at Havelock Town which has over 20years experience in teaching for GCE London O/L and A/L, preparing students for Edexcel Examinations, its branch school in Nugegoda teaches from the Nursery up to GCE Advanced Level Cambridge Examinations.

oyal Institute in Maharagama provides English medium education from the Nursery up to GCE A/L Examinations in two streams, one based on the British Curriculum for Edexcel International Examinations and the other on the Government Syllabus. Royal Institute stands out among international schools as a rare opportunity for a student who enrols in the Nursery class to proceed up to a prestigious and internationally recognized degree of the University of London at Royal Institute of Colombo, without interruption.

The quality of a school faculty is the essential foundation of its reputation. The number, abilities and relevant qualifications of faculty members are the chief indicators of a school's standing. Royal Institute has achieved this reputation by implementing a policy of recruiting its academic staff only from those who satisfy the above criteria. The dedicated and experienced faculty members who stimulate the thirst for knowledge in every student, are specialists in their relevant fields.

Though the internet has replaced libraries in many quarters, Royal Institute strongly believes that a well equipped library is an indispensable asset to students of an institute of higher learning. Therefore we have invested heavily on libraries of all Royal Institute group of schools to provide an extensive collection of text books in all fields of study, supplementary books and other reading material relevant to the respective courses of study. Multiple copies of past examination papers are also provided.

Royal Institute has established a modern swimming pool to facilitate and promote swimming practices. To accommodate the aspirations of certain parents who wish to educate their daughters in a school exclusively for girls, Royal Institute has established an International Girls' School in Maya Avenue.
With regard to the academic programme we have attempted, as far as possible, to limit the class size to the generally accepted norms to ensure individual attention. A continuous assessment scheme has been introduced. The Director of Studies visits all schools frequently, sits with the students during lectures to assess the quality and standard of teaching and makes observations. Students are also assured of the timely coverage of the syllabus.

In Royal Institute group of schools where London A/Level, Cambridge A/Level and Local A/Level (English medium) classes are conducted, the main thrust is on the full-time academic programme. Currently around 450 students receive their education in these programmes.

Maintaining high standards in teaching exercising strict control over the quality of instructions, strict discipline and impressive results are among the main attractions. We take pride in being able to achieve academic excellence in the A/Level programmes. Year after year, our results in O/Level and A/ Level examinations of both Edexcel and Cambridge have been outstanding.

Some of our students have been able to achieve world's best results in a range of subjects at the Advanced Subsidiary Examinations often surpassing even UK students mainly because of high quality delivery of the programmes by Royal Institute which has more expertise and long experience than most other institutions offering similar opportunities. The new A/Level programmes are due to commence shortly.

The challenges for an educational institution are numerous in undertaking responsibilities to prepare high quality manpower for both personal and professional effectiveness. Royal Institute has taken great interest in constantly improving the infra-structure facilities and the academic programmes in view of the rapid technological changes and increasing globalization.

As a premier educational establishment, Royal Institute is geared to meet these contemporary issues and future challenges as well to equip its students with the necessary attitudes and skills effectively for them to face the challenges with confidence.
