Lyceum International School Nugegoda (LN)
Founded by Mohan Lal Grero in 1993, Lyceum International School began with seven students and five teachers. The motto is derived from the Ancient Greek aphorism "Know thyself".[2] The motto itself has no application within the curriculum or teaching style. Today Lyceum is made up of the parent school in Nugegoda and eight branch schools in Kandana(LK), Panadura(LP), Wattala(LW), Ratnapura(LR), Gampaha(LG), Nuwara Eliya(LE), Anuradhapura(LA) and Kurunegala(LK).
History
Lyceum Academy for Higher Education was founded by its managing director Mohan Lal Grero on 7 September 1989. This was situated at Raymond Road, Nugegoda where the present campus stands. At that time Lyceum had only two classrooms and the organization had only external students.
The Lyceum International School at Nugegoda now has over 1 student and over 20 academic staff.
Curriculum
Lyceum prepares its senior school students to sit for the Cambridge International Examinations for their Ordinary Levels and Advanced Level Examinations endorsed by the University of Cambridge, in the United Kingdom, and by the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate (UCLES), its examination body.
Since 2010, students are given the option of choosing between the Cambridge syllabus or the National syllabus in the English language, which gives them the opportunity to be eligible for higher education at public universities in Sri Lanka.
Lyceum has consistently produced some of the island's best examination results, and its students have successfully been enrolled in the world's best universities.
Uniform
The Lyceum uniform adorns the two colors blue(light) and grey. Boys must wear a blue shirt and grey trousers (grade 6 and above) whereas boys from grades 1–5 should wear the same blue shirt and grey shorts. Girls wear a blue frock with a grey coat (from grades 1–12). In addition Lyceum sports a special PT kit including a PT T-shirt and PT track bottoms to be worn by both girls and boys on days they have PT.
