Royal College Profile
Royal College, one of the oldest schools in the country, was founded in 1835 as the Colombo Academy. It is today the foremost school in Sri Lanka with a student population of over 5500.
Royal College is a boys school. It is situated in the heart of the residential area of Colombo, surrounded by beautiful avenues lined with tall majestic trees. The school is the best equipped in the country. It is blessed with a dedicated and able staff of experienced teachers. They have over the years become much more than teachers to their young charges, which is a result of that special relationship that develops through years of association with the school. In addition the school is replete with modern laboratory facilities, computers, teaching aids etc. It has many facilities for extra curricular activities including three large playgrounds and a swimming pool. These afford the students in participating in games such as Rugby, Cricket, Soccer, Football, Basketball, Volleyball, Swimming, Tennis, Chess, Table Tennis and Badminton. Royal College also has over sixty societies and clubs catering to a wide variety of interests ranging from drama to computers.
Entrance to Royal College is fiercely competetive. About half of the student population consists of talented students from all over the country who have excelled at the national level examination held for grade 5 students. If in the final analysis, it is the quality of the output that matters, then Royal College does indeed have a proud record.
The former President of the Country, the former Leader of the Opposition, the immediate past Prime Minister, Chief Justice, Attorney General are few of the distinguished old Royalists. Old Royalists hold key positions in the government service, industry and commercial establishments. The attachment to the school by its past students is more than adequately reflected by the Old Boys Union, which has the country's former President as its Vice President. There are also Old Boys Unions in the United States, Australia, the U.K., Canada and a few other country's which contribute actively to the well being of the school.
Royal College has an unpararelled academic record. It records the best achievements in national level examinations year after year. Most of its students proceed to universities of the highest standing in Sri Lanka and abroad.
In the sports arena, Royalists have always kept the Royal Blue & Gold flag flying. Royal teams excel at national level competitions and several teams represent Sri Lanka at international competitions annually. It is also to be noted that a significant proportion of the sports teams of the country as well as the captains of these teams have been past students of Royal College.
Royal College is an institution rich in tradition and characterized by over 150 years of hard work, dedication and achievement. It is an institution that imparts not only knowledge but also a capacity to formualte harmonious social relationships. To quote from the college anthem, "Learn of books and learn of men and learn to play the game."
