svs school for english in colombo sri lanka

Who we are

At the Samanala Valley School for English (Colombo), we design our English courses to help students at every level improve their knowledge of everyday English. Every English course gives students the opportunity to develop their spoken and written English skills, as well as improve reading and listening skills. Each English course consists of several modules, with a written test administered at the end of each module to enable students to consolidate and assess their knowledge. At the end of each course, a final examination consisting of a written and speaking test is conducted to assess students’ overall knowledge and comprehension of the English course content. Students who successfully pass their end of term exams will receive an official certificate stating their level and grading as follows:

  • Simple pass (a generally good understanding of the course content)
  • Merit pass (strong understanding in most areas)
  • Distinction pass (very good understanding of all the grammar covered).
SVS School for English runs English courses throughout the year. Dates of every semester vary, but generally run as follows: January to March, April to June, July to September, October to December. Classes for each English course run every day from Monday to Friday. Each English class is two hours long for a total of ten hours of teaching per week.

Registration Information

Students who wish to register for a course will first need to sit a placement exam, to determine which course is most suitable for them. There is no charge for sitting the placement exam. Once students have completed the placement exam and their course level is determined, they can register for their course by paying the full fee. Current students do not need to sit a placement exam, and can simply register for their next course at any time during the school term.
