About Us

Since 2009, Horizon College International (HCI) has been dedicated to delivering globally benchmarked education through the Edexcel (UK) curriculum in English. Our approach emphasizes academic excellence, cultural values, character development, and holistic student growth.

We welcome students from as young as 2 ½ years (Play Group) to 17+ years (Year 13), ensuring a comprehensive and nurturing learning experience. Under the vision of Chairman Mr. Upul Daranagama, our main campus was purposefully built in the tranquil, green surroundings of Malabe. Spread across four acres, it offers state-of-the-art classroom facilities alongside a wide array of extracurricular opportunities, including swimming, cricket, athletics, soccer, basketball, netball, chess, table tennis, and martial arts.

Our Malabe main school accommodates 6–7 parallel classrooms per grade, fostering an optimal learning environment. Additionally, our branch school in Nugegoda serves over 300 students from Play Group to Year 6. Together, both schools are supported by a dedicated team of over 300 academic and non-academic staff. At the helm, Coordinating Principal Mrs. Maryanne Hills leads the institution, supported by three Vice Principals.

In response to evolving educational needs, Chairman Mr. Daranagama has introduced the National Curriculum alongside the London curriculum, starting this year September 2025. This initiative empowers parents with the flexibility to choose the most suitable academic path for their children, ensuring that HCI continues to provide quality education tailored to individual aspirations.

Driven by the vision to provide education from Play Group to university level, our Chairman established Horizon Campus in 2010. Today, it stands proudly in Malabe, in a 30,000 sq. ft. facility, educating over 4,000 students in higher education.

Expanding this commitment to early childhood learning, he also founded the Kids in Action Preschool and Childcare Center, ensuring children as young as two years old receive a solid English-language foundation. Currently, our preschool network spans six locations with over 500 students, and we aim to reach ten centers by the end of the year.

All preschool students have access to our childcare facility, offering a secure and nurturing environment for working parents. At our Childcare Center (CCC), children can stay from 7:00 AM to 6:30 PM, cared for by qualified childcare assistants in a professionally maintained setting. Infants as young as nine months old receive attentive care, providing immense relief to parents balancing professional and personal responsibilities.

With a dedicated team committed to supporting families, Kids in Action ensures every child thrives in a safe, engaging, and well-structured environment.

We take pride in our teaching faculty which comprises of well-qualified and experienced teachers. The support and administrative staff of HCI is strongly committed and dedicated to provide an efficient service at all times.
