As a part of the general development plan to expand activities further, a branch school was established in Nugegoda[4] 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[5] followed by starting an International girls school[6] 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.[7]
