A Holistic Educational Journey at Royal Institute International School
View(s):
From Being a Pre-schooler to Graduate Achiever
“Education is a lifelong journey whose destination expands as you travel” as stated by Jim Stovall, emphasises how a child engages in learning and embarks on a journey from the stages of nursery to degree level. As Royal Institute International School recently celebrated over 50 years of excellence in guiding this journey of thousands of students, the school has truly laid a solid foundation for the success of its students.
Early Childhood Years as Blooming Buds
Royal Institute believes that the primary school years are the most crucial part in a child’s educational journey. At RI, we provide the nourishing learning environment for the nursery section using the latest AMI facilitated nursery teaching techniques. We make sure that children see learning as an enjoyable experience where they get to show their true potential in order to become successful human beings in the future. Our main goal is to guide and nurture the child’s cognitive skills, motor skills, language and literacy skills, as well as the child’s social-emotional development, thus building the ‘whole child’ who actively engages in the learning experience. Reading ladder, Oratory, Spelling Bee and English Day competitions are such events where a child’s active participation is encouraged and where they get the platform to showcase their talents. The dedicated teachers at RI ensure our children continue to actively participate in learning through interactive sessions cover all the subjects including music, dancing and handwork.
Thriving as Independent Learners at Primary and Secondary Levels
The Cambridge Pathway
Royal Institute has emerged among the first few international schools in Sri Lanka to obtain the unique ‘Cambridge School Centre’ status. The Cambridge Pathway seamlessly leads through four stages commencing with Primary, Lower and Upper Secondary, and Advanced levels. Furthermore, it emphasizes on the objectives of achievement in learner knowledge, understanding and skill development which enhances independent thinking, and application of knowledge to contemporary situations. The popular adage “When the going gets tough, the tough gets going” was proven to be a reality when Sharika Thayaparan, Sagani Muralytharan, Danuish Ravindran and Madhumina Suthagaran of RI Havelock Town, and Inesh Palihapitiya and Renuja Madushan of RI Nugegoda obtained 4A*s at the recently concluded Cambridge A/L Examination 2022.
Pearson Edexcel International AS and AL
Introducing Pearson Edexcel IAS/IAL is a timely initiative taken by Royal Institute in order to provide the most impactful education qualification to its students. Based on the UK curriculum, which is designed with a global outlook, Pearson Edexcel offer the most modular based assessment that gives students more flexibility to take exams at the right time for them. The curricula open the doors of the best universities around the world leading to prestigious global employment opportunities. It equips learners to thrive in an ever-changing global economy. In the recent Pearson Edexcel AS examinations held in June 2022, we had 12 students receiving full marks for eight subjects. Dini Kathriarachchi gave her astounding performance receiving 5As along with full marks in four subjects. Likewise, 14 outstanding students received 4As and six students obtained 3As.
The National Pathway
Apart from the Cambridge and Pearson Edexcel curriculum, Royal Institute also offers the national curriculum that prepares students for National GCE O/L and A/L examinations. In addition to the world-class achievement, RI has also demonstrated exceptional performance in the recent GCE A/L Examinations 2021. Shashini Dissanayake of RI Maharagama demonstrated unparalleled results as she was ranked 12th in the island and 7th in the district in the Commerce stream. Procuring 3As with Z-score of 2.4508, Shashini has truly set an example to her peers by raising the banner of her Alma Mater. Nilanya De Silva obtained 2As and 1B in the Science stream, whilst Fathima Najah Thouffeeck achieved 1A and 2Bs, and Ashintha Praboda attained 2As and 1S in the Mathematics stream. Mahith Fernando and Themiya Weerasinghe and S. P. Kulani Sathnara obtained 3As in the Commerce stream. These outstanding achievements bear witness to the remarkable educational standards maintained at RI.
