History of Royal Institute
Royal Institute International School was founded in 1971 by G.T. Bandara.

Royal Institute International School of Higher Education was established in 1982 as a private limited liability company to provide international education by introducing London O level and A level courses.

With a view to provide a continuity of education up to tertiary level, after negotiating with the University of London, the Institute commenced preparing students for degrees from the University of London in 1991.

As a part of the general development plan to expand activities further, a branch school was established in Nugegoda in 1993 to provide primary education which has since been upgraded to a fully fledged International School. In the year 2005, another branch was established in Maharagama followed by starting an International girls school in Colombo 6 in 2008 in order to accommodate the aspirations of certain parents who wished to educate their daughters. In 2013, another branch was opened in Gampaha.
