Wycherley International School Colombo was established on January 7, 1985 at 232 Bauddhaloka Mawatha, Colombo 7, starting with 100 students and 40 staff. By 1986 it expanded to Grade 12, and in 1988 senior classes moved to Queens Road, Colombo 3, enabling growth of both the Junior and High Schools with enhanced facilities. In 1996 the 10th anniversary reflected a student body of over 1,000 and a growing reputation for Cambridge examination success. From 2001–2025 Wycherley expanded with new infrastructure, added branch schools in Dehiwala and Gampaha, and introduced the Cambridge International Primary Programme, becoming the first Sri Lankan school to offer Cambridge curricula from Grades 1–12; English remains the academic language and Sinhala, Tamil, French and German are taught to support an international education. During 2020–2022 the pandemic prompted a rapid online learning transition, and today the school highlights world prizes, 100% pass rates and top-tier A-Level results, guided by the motto Tradition - Education – Excellence.
