This is an all girls school of 4,300 students in grades 1-13 and 200 teachers. There are 1,500 students and 50 teachers in the primary section, grades 1 to 5. The school was established by the Methodist Missionary Society in 1885 and run by them until it was nationalized in 1960. It charges no fees and is dependent on funds from the government, former pupils, parents etc. In each grade from 6 to 13 there are 7 classes, 1 in English and 6 in Sinhala. Parallel English-medium classes will be started in grade 1 at the beginning of the 2007 school year to benefit from the Opportunity Education program.
