Gateway opens new International School

Gateway College, Colombo 4 will commence sessions at Vajira Road, Bambalapitiya in January 2009. The school will initially cater to Foundation and Primary levels only.

The serene environment with spacious play areas and modern facilities provides the ideal setting for quality teaching and learning for children.

The new School will be spearheaded by Mrs. Noreen Welikala, who will join Gateway as a Consultant. Mrs. Welikala, who began her career as a graduate teacher of humanities and later served as a Principal of a leading Educational Institution in Colombo for over two decades, brings a wealth of experience in international school education.

Chairman Gateway R.I.T. Alles said that the Directorate is very pleased to add another school to its network at a time when the College is celebrating its 12th anniversary. In 2007, in addition to Gateway Colleges in Colombo and Kandy, the parent institution set up a primary school in Negombo.

In two years, Gateway College, Negombo has made great strides by extending its services up to ALs catering to a student population of 300.

Having strengthened their position in the primary and secondary sectors, Gateway has embarked into the tertiary sector.

When this initiative, in August 2008, the Gateway Graduate School was inaugurated bringing a new dimension to the institution where they provide education from Play Group (2 1/2 years+) to Degree Level, with a new focus and theme - "Foundation to Graduation."
