The Lyceum International School is another excellent international school in Colombo.

The school also offers a range of extracurricular activities and sports, as well as a range of support services for students. The Overseas School of Colombo is a bilingual school offering a curriculum based on the International Baccalaureate Programme. The school has a strong focus on developing students’ language skills and offers a range of language courses, including English, French, Spanish, and Mandarin. The school also offers a range of extracurricular activities and sports, as well as a range of support services for students," remarked one expat living in Colombo with children attending .
"The headmaster of the school is quite charming, at least on the surface. The school appears to be in decline. Some of the classes seem to have lost half their students in recent years. One should also consider the security situation in Sri Lanka before bringing children. Check with your High Com or Embassey. This year the airport was bombed and closed to all international travel for a time. Conditions are getting worse, so do your research before arriving," said one expat in Colombo with children at The Overseas School of Colombo.
