Since 2009, Horizon College International (HCI) has been dedicated to delivering globally benchmarked education through the Edexcel (UK) curriculum in English medium. Our approach emphasises academic excellence whilst nurturing cultural values, character development, and the holistic growth of our students.
Guided by the astute vision of our Chairman, Mr. Upul Daranagama, our main school was thoughtfully established amidst the green, tranquil surroundings of suburban Malabe. Spanning 4 acres, it features modern, state-of-the-art classroom facilities alongside a wide array of extra-curricular activities, including but not limited to swimming, cricket, athletics, basketball, chess, and martial arts.
We welcome children from as young as 2 ½ years (Play Group) to 17+ years (Year 13), ensuring a nurturing learning experience for all. Our main school accommodates 6-7 classrooms per grade, fostering a well-balanced environment that supports effective learning. At the helm of our beloved institution stands our Principal, Mrs. Maryanne Hills, supported by three Vice Principals and a team of academic and administrative personnel. Additionally, our branch school in Nugegoda serves over 300 students from Play Group to Year 6. Together, both schools are supported by over 300 academic and non-academic staff.
In response to evolving educational needs, Mr. Daranagama introduced the National Curriculum, commencing in September 2025. This offers parents the flexibility to choose the academic pathway best aligned with their child’s needs and aspirations, reinforcing Horizon’s commitment to delivering high-quality, personalised education.
Driven by the vision to educate children across the primary, secondary and tertiary levels, Mr. Daranagama established Horizon Campus in 2010. Today, it stands proudly as a testament to that vision – housed in a 30,000-square-foot facility in Malabe – serving over 4,000 students with a diverse range of programmes. Expanding this commitment to early childhood education, Mr. Daranagama also founded the Kids In Action Pre-school and Childcare Centre in 2016. At present, our pre-school network operates across 6 locations, serving over 500 students, and we aim to expand to 10 centres by the end of the year.
To this day, Horizon remains steadfast in its commitment to providing our students with the best that we have to offer – whether that be through formal education, extra-curriculars, career guidance or wholesome character development, we strive for excellence in every aspect of our journey.
