Our Founding Journey & Purpose

Pioneering British International Education on Sri Lanka’s Eastern Coast

Trincomalee District is located in the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka, spanning over 2,727 square kilometres across 11 Divisional Secretariats. A historically multi-ethnic and multi-cultural hub, mother-tongue schooling flourished in Tamil and Sinhala mediums through commendable government schools.

Yet prior to 2017, Trincomalee had no fully-fledged international school. Families seeking an internationally recognised, English-medium curriculum benchmarked to world-class standards had nowhere close to home.

Cambridge International School was founded by Cambridge International Services (Private) Limited to address that vital gap. The school opened on 3 September 2017 with an inaugural cohort of 14 students and 8 staff. Today, it guides approximately 300 scholars through an unbroken Pearson Edexcel continuum.
