Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,

It brings me great joy to address you through this message.
The founding principle behind Nakano College was to create a nurturing environment where children could receive education in the English Medium while being immersed in a modern educational setting at both the Primary and Secondary School Levels.
Our aim is not only to provide academic excellence but also to instill a sense of respect for Sri Lanka's rich cultural and religious heritage. We believe in preserving traditional values while embracing contemporary education methods.
In addition to academic pursuits, our school places great emphasis on extracurricular activities, including sports, to ensure the holistic development and physical well-being of our students. We offer a wide range of indoor and outdoor sports facilities, including swimming.
We firmly believe that an education in the English Medium equips students with the tools to thrive in a globalized world, while also ensuring they remain connected to their roots. Our curriculum strikes a balance between modern educational practices and our cherished national ethos.
At Nakano College, we are committed to providing a holistic educational experience that prepares students to excel academically, embrace diversity, and become responsible global citizens.
Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education.

Warm regards,

Principal, Nakano College

Dear Parents and Students,

Bright Among Others,
It is an honor and privilege to serve as your Principal and to have the opportunity to lead the school founded on Tradition, Education, and Excellence – pillars on which this esteemed institution is renowned for in society.
Nakano College, being a well-reputed school in our country, was founded in 2005 and follows the Cambridge Curriculum from pre-school and Primary to O/Levels and the National curriculum from grade 6 to O/Levels. I am delighted that Nakano College, Bandaragama, is now registered as an Independent Cambridge International School, approved by the Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE), where our students could register and appear for their Cambridge examinations in their own familiar school environment.
Needless to state, the school has earned a reputation for its Academic Excellence and has gifted many young individuals to our society. Our students have excelled not only in academics but also in sports and other extracurricular activities as a result of the well-rounded and balanced educational methods and practices we have in place in the school.
Although international in our curriculum, Nakano College is truly rooted in its cultural approach, molding and training our students to live in a multi-cultural society like ours. Parents of our students play an integral part in this process, not only in educating their children but also in supporting the school in building well-rounded individuals who will be accepted in every sphere of our society.
Nakano is a place where learning and teaching are the norm, and I am honored to be a part of this great community.

Thank you!
