Our Journey
From Humble Beginnings to Global Standards

School building

Olympian International Academy was founded in 2012 by two visionary international school teachers and a small group of just 10 students. What began as a modest classroom with a big dream has grown into one of Sri Lanka's leading institutions for international education.

Today, we are proud to have a passionate team of 40+ highly qualified international school teachers, each dedicated to delivering excellence in every lesson. Over the years, we have successfully educated more than 6,000 students, many of whom have gone on to achieve outstanding results in Cambridge and Edexcel examinations — including Top in the Country and Top in the World recognitions.

While our numbers have grown, our mission has remained constant: to provide high-quality, globally recognized education that inspires students to dream big, think critically, and strive for success.

At Olympian International Academy, we measure success not just by academic results, but by the lasting impact, transformation, and confidence we instill in every student as they prepare for a limitless future.

Our Vision & Mission

Message from the Founder & Chairman

"When we began Olympian International Academy in 2012 with just ten students and a shared dream, we envisioned a learning space that would not only impart knowledge but also ignite ambition and nurture leadership. Today, seeing thousands of our students thrive — both academically and personally — is a profound reminder of how far we've come."
"At Olympian, we believe that excellence is not a destination, but a mindset. We are committed to fostering a culture where curiosity is celebrated, challenges are embraced, and every student is empowered to discover their true potential. Our success lies not just in top grades or prestigious awards, but in the confident, capable individuals we send out into the world."
"It is with immense pride that I witness our academy grow into a vibrant hub of innovation, global thinking, and limitless opportunity. As we continue this journey, our promise remains firm — to deliver an education that not only prepares students for exams, but prepares them for life."
