Overview
[edit]SSLSD is an approved educational institute by The Supreme Education Council and is known as the Sri Lankan Community School. The school is also an Approved Examination Centre by Edexcel International (UK) which grants students to sit for Edexcel IGCSE and IAL examinations. At the beginning, the school was a nursery with 25 students and over the years it has vastly progressed.
SSLSD now offers education from Lower Reception to grade 13. The school follows the Edexcel Curriculum. Students in Year 2 & Year 6 sit for the Key Stage I & II (SAT) examinations administered by Edexcel U.K.[1]

[edit]SSLSD follows the London Edexcel Curriculum. Emphasis is given to activity-based and project-based learning. All curricular and co-curricular activities are directed towards the development of students' to suit the international community.
The assessment system includes both internal and external assessments. Students are assessed internally through monthly and semester examinations, continuous homework and class assessments. External assessment is done through Key Stage Examinations conducted by SAT, IGCSE and IAL testing conducted by Edexcel International.[2]
Examinations
[edit]SSLSD believes that continuous assessment is the key to sharpening the knowledge of the students.

As the gravity of these exams gradually increase from lower to upper classes, the students are very well guided towards the public examinations. The following examinations are available at SSLSD:[3]
