A World-Class Education. A Legacy of Global Impact.

Since 1957, The Overseas School of Colombo has been the trusted choice for families seeking a rigorous, internationally recognised education in a warm and diverse community. As the only fully authorised IB World School in Sri Lanka, we offer a complete continuum of the International Baccalaureate – from Early Years through to the IB Diploma.

Our school is home to students from over 40 nationalities. Each child brings something unique to the classroom, and at OSC, we make space for those differences. Learning here is personal, purposeful, and grounded in a spirit of global citizenship.

We believe education should do more than prepare students for exams. It should prepare them for life. Our experienced faculty, small class sizes, and inquiry-based approach ensure that each student is challenged, supported, and seen – not just as a learner, but as a future leader.

Our graduates go on to study at top universities around the world, but what truly sets them apart is how they show up in the world: with empathy, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.

Whether you're a family relocating to Sri Lanka or a local household seeking something exceptional, we invite you to experience the difference at OSC.
