“Ten minutes after walking into our school,you will long to be a child again.” – CHAIRMAN
It inspires us to hear adults get excited about our school. This is when we know we have got our philosophy right.
Horizon College International Malabe or “Horizon” as it is popularly known today is a purpose-built educational institution pre planned down to the smallest of details to make the learning experience for children more meaningful and more relevant.
As an adult trying to make the ideal “school choice” for a child, you may want to consider many characteristics when evaluating a school. We invite you to get to know us and our approach to engaging your child’s interests; the nurturing environment we have created; the widely accepted well balanced Edexcel curriculum we follow and the qualified teachers who actively involve the child in the learning process. The very location of the school is unique. Strategically set amidst a lush and serene backdrop with access to lots of trees, sunshine, fresh air and a quiet neighborhood away from the congestion of the city, it is a highly conductive place to spend quality time.
The expression “child-friendly” best describes our approach to building on a child’s strengths. It is a fact that the personality, aptitude and learning style differ from one child to another, but we believe all children have the capacity to succeed, provided they get a sound education in a suitable environment. “Horizon” is an exceptional international school that provides both.
Our Primary and Secondary Schools prepare students for London O/Level and A/Level examinations. We advice and encourage our students to pursue academic progression to a degree level. For this purpose we have our state-of-the-art Horizon Campus – a BOI venture within the same premises, with affiliations to some of the world’s best Universities ensuring your child to have the opportunity to become an employable graduate.
Since we opened our doors and welcomed children in 2009, our school has shown tremendous growth. Our website www.horizoncollegeinternational.com is one place to check out the latest information on our academic strengths, sports opportunities and extracurricular activities enjoyed by our students.
There are many reasons why your child will appreciate his or her schooling years with us. We are confident that you will make an insightful choice and we look forward to seeing you.
Message From Principal

B.A. (Hons.) M.Ed
Principal
Welcome to Horizon College International. We at Horizon are proud of our school, our teaching faculty our students parents, and all our staff who have worked untiringly to help us through our journey of 14 years.
Within this period of 14 years our student population which began with a 100 plus students now stands at over 3000. Here at Horizon we believe that Education is a onetime chance and that our students deserve the best. Due to this reason the very location of our school was carefully selected by our chairman Mr. Upul Daranagama. It is an environment that is surrounded by lush green fields that is a feast to the eye. This quiet, calm and serene atmosphere is very conducive to teaching and learning. Horizon College is genuinely a co-educational school, committed to give identical opportunities to students who join us from a range of schools. HCI will serve both Sri Lankan students and those from the international community. Thus it is our responsibility to ensure that all our students feel welcome and secure.
There is of course, much more to choosing a school for your child than simply comparing factual information. The style of a school, its vision and purpose and above all its atmosphere will greatly influence how your child develops.
Our teaching faculty is well qualified and experienced and will ignite in your child the fire of curiosity through modern teaching methodology in state-of-the-art classrooms. Our classroom practices help students easily adjust to their new school HCI and make learning fun. The curriculum at the primary level is activity based learning and encourages creativity. Our students will be equipped with the knowledge and skill to sit for the Edexcel IGCSE examination and A/L examination. It is now our challenge, not only to have students meet the benchmark for passing international examinations, but to rise to even higher levels of achievement. In this age of accountability and testing, it is also our duty to be cognizant that education is much more than teaching standards and preparing students for tests. More importantly, education at HCI is designed to develop students who can critically analyze and problem solve. Once in possession of such a world class qualification and exposure, the challenges of the 21st Century can be faced with great confidence.
HCI offers its students the opportunity to achieve academically, while experiencing different sporting activities such as Swimming, Cricket, Netball, Basketball and Chess. It is our goal to help all students find success at HCI. We look forward to helping your child achieve his/ her dream.
