Education in Sri Lanka is moving forward with new reforms, where compulsory school education is now set for 13 years. This means that after O/Ls, children are expected to continue their schooling journey before stepping into higher education or the outside world.
At RIS, we believe this is the right path. Why? Because after O/Ls, most students are not ready to face society on their own. They may be academically capable, but maturity, confidence, and real-life skills take time to grow.
Fast-tracking education—completing degrees by 19 or 20—might sound appealing, but it often leaves gaps. Students may hold qualifications, yet lack the social, emotional, and leadership skills needed to thrive in university, careers, or life itself.
This is why RIS Senior School focuses on holistic education. We prepare students not just with strong academics, but also with opportunities that shape their character, teamwork, and confidence:
Academics
Specialized subjects, National & International pathways, practical labs (IT, Physics, Chemistry, Biology), and exposure to real-world knowledge.
Beyond Academics
Sports, clubs, and societies where students learn teamwork, resilience, and discipline.
Leadership & Responsibility
Roles as prefects, captains, and society leaders help them take charge, guide others, and build confidence in public speaking, presentations, and event organization.
Experiences
Field visits, workshops, conferences, and industrial exposure give them a true taste of the world beyond textbooks.
At RIS, Senior School is not just about exams—it’s about shaping well-rounded individuals who are ready for university, careers, and life. Students grow academically, socially, and emotionally—becoming leaders who can stand strong anywhere in the world.
Students in Grades 7 and 8 strengthen their core academic skills while being introduced to a
broader range of subjects, clubs, and sports
At Royal International School, the National O/L Section is regarded as the heart of the school— where years of learning, growth, and discipline culminate as students approach their first major academic milestone.
Royal International School (RIS) is proud to offer the internationally recognized Pearson Edexcel curriculum, a globally respected qualification that opens doors to leading universities and diverse career pathways worldwide.
The A/L years at RIS are not just about academics—they are the best years to grow, lead, and define a future
At RIS, completing 13 years of schooling is more than a requirement — it’s a guided journey. In line with national education reforms, we support every student to progress with clarity, confidence, and purpose from start to finish.
While accelerated pathways may rush students into early qualifications, we focus on maturity, emotional intelligence, teamwork, and leadership — essential skills for success beyond school.
From sports, clubs, and societies to leadership roles, public speaking, and event management—students gain experiences that shape confident, well-rounded individuals.
Fully equipped IT labs, science labs, auditoriums, and conference halls create real-world exposure beyond textbooks.
Students take roles as captains, presidents, and secretaries in clubs, societies, and sports teams—learning responsibility, decision-making, and teamwork.
Teachers and mentors guide every student with close attention, offering academic support, career advice, and life skills training
Options for both National and Edexcel curricula, scholarships for achievers, and strong university preparation open global doors.
Students remain part of the RIS family, with alumni connections and a reputation that adds value to their future endeavors
These years are not just about exams but about shaping identity, building resilience, and preparing for adulthood with confidence
At RIS Senior School, we go beyond preparing students for exams—we prepare them for life. The A/L years are celebrated as the pinnacle of school life: a time to take leadership, embrace opportunities, and shape a bright future within a familiar, supportive community.
“Stay. Lead. Grow. Graduate as a well-rounded individual—ready for the world.”
