Royal Institute (RI) at Havelock Town, which commenced operations in 1971 is celebrating 50 years in education business.
The Institute in 1993 opened a branch in Nugegoda and then its network expanded to Maharagama, Maya Avenue and Gampaha offering well-coordinated world-class education. Royal Institute holds modern academic amenities and a range of other latest state of the art facilities.
“World-class education offered in a student-friendly, caring environment is the secret to the unblemished success of RI. The school caters to both, the national curriculum as well as the curriculum by Cambridge Assessment International Education. Throughout its 50 years of history, the Royal Institute has produced amazing competent learners, who have received world prizes and international recognition,” an official from RI said.
Gayathrini Premawardhane a RI alumna, earned financial aid up to 90% of the total cost of the undergraduate degree programme from Cornell University, NY, USA, for her outstanding academic performances.
It included the Foreign Students’ Scholarship, Satya Brat and Santosh Bhaman Scholarship and annual grants for housing, dining and health insurance. Gayathrini will graduate in May 2021 with a major in Physics.
Dr. Yugeesh Lankadeva, another notable alumnus, obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Biomedicine from Deakin University and his fully-scholarship funded PhD from Monash University. He currently serves as a National Heart Foundation Future Leader Senior Research Fellow and Head of the Translational Cardiovascular and Renal Research Group, Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health, Melbourne.
Dr. Lankadeva holds the authorship of over 40 publications; his discoveries have been acknowledged by the award of over US$ 3.6 million of research funding and over 20 prestigious awards. Chaniru Mirando, the Deputy Head Prefect of RI, Nugegoda and a multitalented scholar, struck a great balance among academics, sports and leadership.
Chaniru captained the school badminton team, which emerged champions in the inter-International schools’ badminton tournaments for 6 years, winning the best player title, each time. Being the only Sri Lankan who made it to the best 16 players of the tournament, he was ranked No. 20 globally by the World Badminton Federation. Chaniru obtained best results at Cambridge Checkpoint examination, 4A’s and 3A’s at Cambridge OLs, 3A’s and a C at A’S Levels. “These testifies that the availability of sophisticated and stimulating learning environments and active participation in an array of extracurricular activities enrich students with all skills, competencies, values and independence demanded by a challenging world.”
Royal Institute International School said that admissions are now open for the January 2021 intake.
