Rev. Brother Director's Message

 

Welcome to St. Benedict’s College!

The oldest Catholic private college in the Archdiocese of Colombo. Administered and managed by the De La Salle Brothers, well known as Lasallian educators, inspired by St. John Baptist de La Salle, the Patron Saint of Teachers and Educators.

As the present Director/Principal of this great institution, I am honored to lead the college with its rich history of academic excellence and a commitment to fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment for our students for the past 160 years. Established in 1865, our college has been a cornerstone of education in our country, dedicated to shaping the minds and hearts of young individuals to become responsible, compassionate, and knowledgeable members of society.

At St. Benedict’s, we believe in a holistic approach to education. Our comprehensive curriculum is designed to challenge and inspire our students, encouraging them to reach their full potential both academically and personally. We are proud of our dedicated faculty, who bring a wealth of experience and a passion for teaching, ensuring that each student receives the support and guidance they need to succeed.

Beyond the classroom, we offer a wide range of extracurricular activities and sports that allow our students to explore their interests and develop new skills. From sports and arts to community service and leadership opportunities, there is something for everyone at St. Benedict’s College.

We are committed to maintaining a safe and welcoming environment where every student feels valued and respected. Our school community is built on the principles of mutual respect, integrity, and collaboration. We encourage open communication and active participation from students, parents, and staff to create a dynamic and supportive educational experience.

As we continue to grow and evolve, we remain steadfast in our mission to provide a high-quality education that prepares our students for the challenges and opportunities of the future, to lead their lives with dignity and freedom, to serve the needs of society, and to take care of our planet. I invite you to explore our website to learn more about our programs, achievements, and the vibrant community that makes St. Benedict’s College a special place to learn and grow.
