Academic & Co-Curricular Excellence
We provide a robust curriculum that prepares students for Local O/L and A/L examinations in Sinhala and English mediums, with a strong emphasis on intellectual curiosity and critical thinking.
Beyond the classroom, Sebastianites excel in sports and ECAs — especially cricket, where the annual Battle of the Golds holds a prominent place in Sri Lanka's school sports calendar.
