Over the last 30 years, Ashoka College has been instrumental in moulding up personalities with great caliber who have reached respectable positions in the society.

Being established in a Buddhist background, Ashoka College has always been creating individuals with self discipline, compassion and strong determination that show excelling qualities among the others. Along with the government curriculum, we provide the students the ample space and flat form to take part in extracurricular activities and in national level competitions in which they have exhibited dominating performances.

Ashoka College, Horana was established as a government approved private school by Ven. Kahatapitiye Rahula Thero on January 11, 1990. Since then it has functioned as a popular English medium school in the area providing wholesome education to an expanding student population. The school is equipped with all the facilities needed for such a venture and a new four storied building is being constructed to cater to the increasing demand to enter the school.

In the history of the school which spans more than 23 years Ashoka College has made outstanding achievements both in academic performance and in extra-curricular activities. Every year more than 95% students who sit the G.C.E. (O/L) examination qualify for the G.C.E. Advanced Level and last year the success rate was 98%. Although the instruction is provided in English, in the lower grades attention is paid to prepare the grade 5 students for scholarship examination and Ashokians have done well in that examination too. Last year 20 students out of 85 who sat for that examination got through. Two students secured 182 marks each!

Our vision is to endow unto the world, socially desirable individuals who are virtuous and intelligent. Our mission is to mould a spiritually developed and intellectual generation who end-eavour to win challenging innovations with a sense of understanding and compassion for the others.
