Galle International College

GIC is an International school based in Galle, Southern Province of Sri Lanka. We have an excellent reputation for providing an education based on the English National Curriculum for 2 to 18 year olds as well as providing Cambridge International Examinations as an Associate School.

We aim to give every student in our care the very best possible education in order to prepare them for life beyond school. We are a 'Learning Community' which encourages staff, students and parents to involve themselves fully in all aspects of school life and to identify themselves with its core values of Respect, Responsibility and Integrity.

In this fast changing and challenging world, we need to ensure our students have the skills and resources to deal with the demands of the future and as such we encourage our students to aim high in their studies, to work hard and to be sensitive to the rights and needs of others. Our team of teachers provide good quality teaching and learning opportunities to ensure all students find their hidden talents and skills. At GIC we aim to:

• Provide an environment where children feel safe, secure and happy to enable them to develop the self confidence to try new experiences without fear of failure.
• Realise the full potential of each child ensuring equal opportunity regardless of race, creed, ability or gender.
• Encourage children to become independent, co-operative, confident, and reflective learners promoting positive attitudes to 'life long' learning.
• Promote values and respect within the school and beyond to enable students to become respectful, tolerant and fully integrated members of society.
• Acknowledge each child is unique and has different needs.
• Recognise and develop the full potential of each child.
• Engage in effective partnerships between home, school and the wider community so that success and achievement can be shared.

At Galle International College we are committed to developing a community of lifelong learners with the skills to acquire knowledge and meet the challenges of an ever changing world.

The key to the success of any organisation is mutual support, respect and tolerance of differences. To build an environment of trust, it is essential that all members of the school community openly communicate with each other and try to work together in a courteous manner to resolve their differences.

Galle International College is dedicated to developing globally aware citizens by creating a wealth of experience through indoor and outdoor teaching. We envision an engaged and socially responsible community of active learners attaining the highest standards of education, personal development and confidence. This vision will prepare students to confidently resolve future challenges in their adult life.
