British-curriculum international schools in Sri Lanka typically teach in English and follow the UK school model with progression to Cambridge or Pearson Edexcel IGCSEs and AS/A-Levels; many local British-style schools combine the National Curriculum framework with internationally examined routes. Schools commonly offer Sinhala and Tamil as additional or second-language options and increasingly provide English-language support for newcomers. Fees vary widely and are usually quoted per term; day-school tuition in Colombo commonly falls in the lower hundreds of thousands of Sri Lankan rupees per year for smaller campuses and can rise into mid-to-high six-figure or low seven-figure ranges at larger expatriate-oriented schools, with extra charges for registration, books, exams and activities. The academic year usually runs on a three-term cycle beginning around August/September, there is a main intake at the start of the year but many schools accept mid-year admissions subject to entrance assessments and availability, and parents should check each school’s published term dates and exam sessions when planning a move.
