OKI International School - Wattala

OKI International School, Wattala, was established in September 1998 as the parent school, providing quality education for students from Play Group to Advanced Level (A/L) in both Commerce and Science Streams. Catering to both Cambridge and local examinations, the school operates in two locations: the Junior Section, which includes Pre-School to Grade 7, is located at No. 80, Old Negombo Road, Wattala, while the Main School, which accommodates students from Grade 8 to A/L, is situated at NO. 43, Old Negombo Road, Wattala.

Equipped with modern facilities such as a library, an IT lab with internet access, well-equipped Chemistry and Physics laboratories, smart classrooms, a Robotics room, a main hall, an auditorium, an audio-visual room, aesthetics rooms, a swimming pool, and an inclusive education unit, the school provides an enriched learning environment up to A/L.

To foster students’ holistic development, various associations and clubs have been established, including Language & Academic Societies such as the English, Sinhala, and Tamil Associations, Science and Commerce Associations, UN Club, Reading Club, and Debating Club. Leadership and media-focused initiatives like the Prefects’ Guild, Gavel Club, and Media & Broadcasting Club, as well as technology-driven groups such as the Robotics Club and Aviation Club, further enhance student engagement.

The school also promotes community service through the Social Service Club, Boy Scouts Unit, Cub Scouts Unit, and Girl Guides Unit, while intellectual and strategic activities are encouraged through the Chess Club. Beyond academics, sports and extracurricular activities play a crucial role in student life, offering students opportunities to participate in swimming, cricket, netball, basketball, badminton, karate, table tennis, and athletics.

With a strong commitment to academic excellence, skill development, and extracurricular engagement, OKI International School continues to shape well-rounded individuals prepared to excel in their future endeavours.

It is indeed a privilege to pen this message as the Principal of the Senior Section of OKI International School, Wattala.  Optimum Knowledge Institute, as the name suggests, from her inception has been dedicated to impart a holistic education to learners on vivid perspectives to its optimum standard. OKI, deeply rooted in the heart of Wattala,

as the oldest international school established in the area, has extended far and wide with her proud and profound landmarks ranging over two decades.  It is my obligation to record with high esteem and gratitude the vision of the visionary founder ‘To be the best school in molding children to be World Class Citizens’.  Abiding by the vision, the school paves the way for students to develop the spectsr sam dents

can pursue their strengths and reach heights to be World Class Citizens.  Educating through an international language up to the Advanced Level provides opportunities to widen the horizons of the learner, enriching the power of merging into a global society.  The school not only stimulates the students to be academics but also enhances their abilities in dynamic perspectives.  Multifarious values and ethics of different ethnic groups and religions are strongly interwoven, making the exposure of students vivid, rich and colorful. Student active involvement in events,

rich with a blended culture inculcate mutual respect, understanding and tolerance that would mold a child who could be sustained in and accepted by any society.  Any educational institute may cater to knowledge, skills and attitudes of students, but very few make provisions for their soft skills. At OKI, the students are geared to demonstrate and to sharpen their soft skills by engaging themselves as active participants of various societies and movements.  

The collaborative efforts and the constant dedication of the Management along with the stakeholders have greatly extended the parameters of the school. Students of OKI are blessed to be groomed and molded as World Class Citizens.
