Welcome



Elizabeth Moir School is one of  leading international schools in colombo Sri Lanka was founded in 1996. The Junior School has always been on Park Road and the Senior School moved from Guildford Crescent to Thalakotuwa Gardens in 2003.

There are currently over 350 students at Elizabeth Moir School  Overall, the boy/girl ratio is approximately even.



Whether you are a past student browsing the pages to reminisce, or a prospective parent searching for a school that meets your requirements, I would like to offer you a very warm welcome to this website.

Since its inception in 1996, our school has been blessed with remarkable characters - students and teachers - who have helped shape the essence of our community.

It is a community that continues to thrive and I continue to take great pride when showing guests around both our Junior and Senior Schools.

Although we have a tremendous record of academic success in public examinations, we aim to provide far more than impressive grades. We are committed to stretching the minds of all our students, encouraging them to think for themselves, to lead others, to ask questions, to take responsibility.

Our school has a wonderfully positive ethos, an environment where students encourage one another to try something new without the fear of failure; it is this incredible atmosphere which allows them to flourish in all aspects of school life and to enter the outside world armed with self-confidence and humility.

Happiness, passion, dedication and school spirit are not that easy to convey on a website. If you would like a ‘real’ tour of the school, I would be delighted to show you around!

Our Philsophy



Teaching our students how to learn is just as important as teaching them what to learn. Rather than simply loading their memory with the thoughts of others, we try to encourage all our students to think for themselves, to ask questions as well as providing answers.

To stretch the minds of our students and to keep them interested in their own education, we strive to make the classes as interactive and varied as possible. Different techniques of teaching are employed by different teachers who share the same objective - getting the best out of each student.

With the highest teacher to student ratio of all leading international schools in Colombo, we place considerable importance on individual attention. The results and efforts of each student are monitored at regular intervals, ensuring that underachievement is easily detected at an early stage.

At both the Junior and Senior Schools, our Heads of Department have been with us for a considerable length of time. This continuity has been one of the key reasons why the school has developed so smoothly in recent years.
