Official page of Kingswood College, Kandy. By the late 1950s, it became one of the first schools to join the state education system.
Kingswood College, Kandy (formerly known as Kandy Boys' High School) was founded on the 4th of May, 1891, by the visionary Louis Edmund Blaze OBE, Kingswood College began with just 11 students at Pavilion Street, Kandy. Inspired by the public school traditions of England, Kingswood has grown into one of Sri Lankaโs leading educational institutions, now home to over 3,500 students, including both d
ay scholars and boarders. Rich in tradition and innovation, Kingswood boasts many firsts, including introducing rugby-football to Sri Lanka and being the first boys-only school to employ a female teacher. Established initially as a private fee-levying school, it transitioned to Methodist Missionary management and later relocated to its iconic Mulgampola campus in 1925, thanks to the generosity of Sir John Randles. Our mission is to nurture scholarly gentlemen with outstanding character, offering a balanced environment for academic excellence, sports, and extracurricular activities. From the Primary to the Upper School, Kingswoodians are instilled with the core values of integrity, discipline, and respect, empowering them to excel in any sphere of life. While honoring its traditions, Kingswood remains committed to innovation, embracing modern teaching methodologies and a forward-thinking ethos.
