“Stafford International School, Colombo is one of the important schools for Cambridge Assessment International Education in Sri Lanka. Since the inception of this school, it has made significant contribution in the development of international education for Sri Lankan students. We highly value our longstanding partnership with Stafford International School, Colombo.
It is fantastic to see that every year a large number of candidates from Stafford International School sitting the Cambridge International Lower Secondary Checkpoints, IGCSE and some AS and A Level examinations. Every year the school has an outstanding record of producing high achievers for the award categories ‘top in the country’ and ‘top in the world’ competing with candidates in country and globally. This certainly reflects the quality, commitment and hard work of students and teachers of Stafford International School.”

“A couple of years ago, my children joined Stafford with very high hopes of the school, which, may I add, have been exceeded. The administration staff gave us an extremely good impression of the school with their optimistic and welcoming spirits, which was a strong driving force for our decision to enrol our children into Stafford International School.
It's not hard to say that joining Stafford was one of the best decisions we have made. Throughout our experiences with Stafford, the teachers’ commitment, the administration staff’s and non-academic staff’s friendliness and hard work never cease to surprise us. The school, also, welcomes the new students with open arms and creates a family feel. Plus, the higher management is very approachable and they seem to take any feedback, regardless of whether it is minor or major, seriously.
Especially, amid the pandemic, the school’s handling of the secondary school education was remarkable. They took quick action and was one of the first schools to have methodical online schooling in Sri Lanka. The teachers' dedication and devotion were startling during these rough times.”

We are truly grateful to the teachers who have guided and supported both our children, especially our daughter, to achieve academic excellence with a well structured teaching method, with the ability to impart their knowledge to the student, in a way that captures the students attention. We are indeed proud to have our two children at this institution!!”
