Ashoka College has been doing a tremendous service to the country by imparting education in the English Medium, which is the crying need of the day. Ashoka College has grown over the years to be a prominent school in the area. Ashoka College has made a tremendous impact in the educational sphere compared to the prestigious schools in the area. They have gone a step further to impart education with the salient features of a truly religious environment.

In the context of the extremely competitive modern world moving towards a global village the need for institutions of the caliber of Ashoka College has become imperative to provide an all-round education inculcating Sri Lankan values and a national identity. Such an education will help to produce educated, disciplined and dedicated citizens who will serve the nation wholeheartedly.

As an educational institute which imparts education in English Medium, the college can be proud of the achievements of their students and the achievements they have won for the college as a leading educational institute in the island. The unique religious background of the college ensures that the college produces future citizens with capacity and capability to function efficiently while retaining its cultural values.

The present principal is Mr. P.S. Ranjith Perera who has been successful in bringing in innovations intended to further uplift the teaching/ learning process in the college. He assumed duties as the principal of the college in June last year and since then he has introduced several staff development educational programmes for teachers and subject seminars for students. He is always encouraged in these activities by the managing director Venerable Opalle Gnanasiri Thero. Guidance given by that erudite Buddhist priest maintains the dedication and devotion of the academic staff which ensures the smooth functioning of the college management team which consists of renowned scholars who make a great contribution for the rapid progress of the institution.

As the saying goes “Proof of the pudding is in the eating” and Ashoka College has proved their dedication by producing scholars of local and international repute and at the same time earning great popularity whilst doing so. Rapid growth of the student population bears testimony to the College being able to live up to the expectations of the students and their parents.
