Gateway College, Negombo

Gateway College Negombo was the third branch to be started by the Gateway Group. The school officially opened in February 2007, initially catering only to playgroup and kindergathern classes. The Secondary School section followed soon after in late august 2007, again catering to a limited number of classes to begin with (up to year 9). The school rapidly progressed, and the Gateway Group continued to expand the premises of the school.

In June 2008 it was decided that the school was ready to commence advanced level classes, and thus offered Advanced Subsidiarity (AS) level examinations from then onwards.

Within a short space of time the school has become one of the leading educational institutes in the area, boasting a student population of over 600. It has produced many champion athletes, as well as hosting several basketball tournaments. Another asset that the Gateway College Negombo has produced is the Gateway College Negombo Media Unit, which provides high quality media solutions and coverage for all school events.

The latest move by the school is to expand in to the tertiary segment of education, by starting the Gateway Graduate School Negombo adjoining the main school. Construction work is almost completed, and the Graduate School will be open mid 2011.
