The Samanala Valley School for English (Colombo) is lucky to have a wonderfully multi-cultural student body. In addition to Sri Lankans, we also have students from Korea, Thailand, Myanmar, the Maldives, Japan and South America joining us to create a unique and exciting environment for students and teachers alike.
Our diversity serves to enhance students’ learning experience, as they have the chance to interact, converse and make friends with people from across the world, using English as the common language of communication.
We also host fun events throughout the year, to which all students – past, present and future – are welcome. In the past, we’ve held football tournaments and celebrated international day, with both teachers and students coming together in the spirit of friendship and fun.
Our airy and cheerful classrooms come equipped with whiteboards, visual and audio equipment. Teachers use a range of tools, including posters, games and multimedia aids to help students understand and practice various concepts.
Students at SVS School for English are given a free exercise book to take notes in class and practice written English. Additionally, students are given worksheets for each lesson to complete in class and take home. The school also has a well-stocked library and a DVD lending facility. Students are encouraged to check out books and DVDs, to further develop their comprehension of English.An outdoor seating area for students offers a friendly, informal atmosphere to sit and chat with other students and complete any last minute homework! The school also has separate restroom facilities for ladies and gentlemen, as well as a small car park.
SVS School for English is a small, family-run charitable organisation. We receive no external funding of any kind, using only the income from course fees to operate the school. We are also committed to maintain affordable course fees for students and as such, this means we don’t feature fancy amenities, such as air-conditioned classrooms! However, our students come first and we do everything we can to provide the best learning experience for all our students.
