St. Mary's College Negombo

St. Mary's College Negombo is one of the Western Province's most respected Catholic mission schools, serving the fishing port city of Negombo — often called Little Rome for its high concentration of Catholic churches and strong Catholic community. The school offers Cambridge International O-Level and A-Level programmes alongside Sri Lanka national curriculum from Primary through Sixth Form. Negombo's large Catholic population — one of the highest concentrations of Catholics in South Asia — creates strong demand for Catholic mission education. St. Mary's College serves students aged 5–19 in an environment that combines academic rigour with Catholic values, service, and community commitment. The school benefits from Negombo's proximity to Bandaranaike International Airport and Colombo, attracting families from across the Western Province's coastal communities. Facilities include science laboratories, a library, computer labs, a chapel, and sports grounds. St. Mary's College Negombo has produced many of western Sri Lanka's most accomplished professionals, clergy, academics, and community leaders over its long history. The school is affiliated with Cambridge Assessment International Education and the Sri Lanka national curriculum board.
