  • Das Royal College, Colombo (singhalesisch රාජකීය විද්‍යාලය Rājakīya Vidyālaya; Tamil றோயல் கல்லூரி Royal Kalloori, auch Royal College Colombo 7, kurz auch Royal genannt) ist eine monoedukative Schule für Jungen in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Sie wurde als private Schule von Reverend 1835 gegründet und als Colombo Academy von Sir im Januar 1836 als erste staatliche weiterführende Schule für Jungen in Sri Lanka übernommen. Das Royal College gilt als führende öffentliche Schule in Sri Lanka und wird auch als „Eton von Sri Lanka“ bezeichnet. Die Schule wurde in der Tradition der British Public School eingerichtet und 1881 mit Zustimmung der Königin Victoria in „Royal College Colombo“ umbenannt. Sie wurde die erste Schule außerhalb der Britischen Inseln, die die Bezeichnung „Royal“ tragen durfte, und war eine der ersten Schulen, die in den 1980er-Jahren von der Regierung Sri Lankas als National School (ජාතික පාසල, Jathika Pasala, தேசியப் பாடசாலை) bezeichnet wurde. Als National School wird sie durch die Regierung finanziert – im Unterschied zu den Schulen der Provincial Councils. Die Schule wurde 2009 von Microsoft als „eines der besten innovativen Colleges“ (one of best innovative colleges) der Welt bezeichnet. Studenten des Royal College werden als Royalists bezeichnet, ehemalige Schüler als „Old Royalists“. Zahlreiche berühmte Persönlichkeiten erhielten an der Schule ihre Ausbildung, unter anderem Präsidenten zweier Länder, ein Sultan und drei Premierminister. (de)
  • Royal College, Colombo is a selective entry boys' school located in Cinnamon Gardens, Colombo, Sri Lanka. Started as a private school by Rev Joseph Marsh in 1835, it was established as the Colombo Academy by Sir Robert Wilmot-Horton in January 1836, as part of the implementation of the recommendations of the Colebrooke Cameron Commission (1833), and was the first government-run secondary school for boys in the island. Royal College is the first public school in Sri Lanka and is often referred to as the "Eton of Sri Lanka". The school was founded in the British public school tradition, based on the recommendations of the Colebrooke Cameron Commission (1833), and having been named the Royal College, Colombo in 1881 with consent from Queen Victoria, it became the first school to gain the prefix, "Royal", outside of the British Isles and it was one of the first schools to be designated as a national school by the Sri Lankan Government in the 1980s. As a national school, it is funded by the government as opposed to the provincial council providing both primary and secondary education. The school was set as one of the most innovative educational institutions in the world at the fifth annual Worldwide Innovative Education Forum (IEF), organised by the Microsoft Corporation in 2009. Students of Royal College are known as Royalists whilst past pupils are known as Old Royalists. The school has produced many distinguished alumni, among whom are presidents of two countries, a sultan, and three prime ministers. (en)
