About the School
A new daily English school for the Buddhist children was set up by the Buddhist Theosophical Society on 1 st November 1886. This school, opened on a modest scale with 37 students in a private house in Pettah, was later relocated in Maradana and was named after Arahant Ananda, the most devoted disciple of the Buddha.
Today Ananda College stands to be one of the greatest Buddhist schools in Asia, with a student population exceeding 6000. The academic staff led by the able Principal, Mr B.A. Abeyarathne is little over 200.
