PREAMBLE

The Overseas School of Colombo (OSC) is culturally diverse. Our community consists of 40+ nationalities and together we aim to live up to our motto – “Unity in Diversity”. Our curricula, while being rigorous and internationally recognised, are focused on the development of well-rounded individuals using a personalised approach.

Our approach to education is founded on the understanding that our student community needs to be future-ready. We place importance not only on achieving academic excellence, but also paving pathways for inclusivity among communities and a sustainable planet. Starting from our Early Years and PYP Programmes and moving into the Middle and High School IB Diploma Programmes, we are steadfast in our vision to build independent, caring, and responsible world citizens who integrate perspectives, think critically and are unwavering in contributing at both local and global levels. We inspire all of our students to use their impact and ideas to help shape a more sustainable, kind, and peaceful world. Our students are agents of their learning who recognise that “together, by embracing our differences, we are better.”

The “OSC experience” provides an abundance of service-learning activities and projects in support of our vision and mission. Students are encouraged to engage in extracurricular activities including sports, community service, and the Arts, to cultivate creativity and a collaborative spirit. Our small class sizes allow for personalised attention, and our warm and friendly relationships provide positive and trusting teacher-student rapport.
