About School
Since 1986 Strive Towards the Light
A very warm welcome to Stafford International School where students are placed firmly at the centre.
Not only are we one of the oldest international schools in Colombo spanning 60 years, we are an exciting and progressive learning community that annually produces some of the very best iGCSE and A Level results in the Sri Lanka. In 2020, we excelled at the Cambridge Learner Awards, achieving the best IGCSE/O Level results in the country.
We also boast an expansive extracurricular program and we that an all-round education and life beyond the classroom is an essential part of what we offer. We believe that Co-Curricular Activities broaden horizons, and instil a sense of resilience, leadership, teamwork and decision-making, complementing what goes in the academic curriculum.
OUR PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
Mr. Ben Evans
As one of the oldest international schools in Colombo we have a proud and distinctive heritage which is characterised by a genuine commitment to the pursuit of excellence.
Our vibrant, happy community instils a lifelong passion for learning in a secure environment where students feel known, nurtured and are encouraged to grow as resilient, ambitious individuals. Exceptional resources, a strong academic approach and accessible and enjoyable teaching methods allow students to progress individually and reach their true potential in all spheres of school life.
At Stafford we offer a total education by encouraging the development of the whole individual, seeking to find and foster talent whether in the classroom, or through a wide range of extra-curricular and enrichment activities. We firmly believe that all students can and will excel at something.
We are proud of our academic performance at both IGCSE and A-Level with results always that count, each tear, as some of the best in the country. Students are prepared for a wide range of universities across the world, carefully chosen to suit their academic and co-curricular strengths and pathways. Stafford students characteristically approach the next stage of the educational journey with success, confidence and distinction.
I hope the following pages of our website give you a useful glimpse into life at Stafford; the incredible and very special spirit, energy and enjoyment which make our school such a unique place. However, ultimately there is no substitute for a personal visit and I look forward to meeting you and introducing you to what a Stafford education could mean for your child.
