It is a public school and provides primary,secondary and higher education. Donation of the landThe land of the current school was originally owned by Anagarika Dharmapala. Later it was donated by the Don Hewawitharana Family to Mahabodhi Society and was allocated to Dharmapala Vidyalaya in 1940.{{cn|date=February 2018}} Dharmapala Vidyalaya todayDharmapala Vidyalaya has over 6,000 students and 350 teaching staff on a campus of {{convert|110,000|m2|acre|abbr=on}}.[1] It provides education for students from grade 1 to G.C.E. Advanced level. History{{no sources|section|date=February 2018}}In 1940 an English secondary school was established at Pannipitiya as a branch of Ananda College Colombo. This new school was named Dharmapala Vidyalaya. On opening day two major events took place: the opening of late Sri Devamitta Dharmapala Thero Memorial building by the Minister of Health, W. A. de Silva, and the ceremonial opening of Dharmapala Vidyalaya by the General Manager of Buddhist Schools, Walter Wijeynaike. Dharmapala Vidyalaya was managed by the Buddhist Theosophical Society under the direct supervision of the principal of Ananda College Colombo. It was a school for boys and girls and conducted classes from Kindergarten to the Matriculation Form, in English. Dharmapala Vidyalaya began its work on 8 January 1941. Its founder was Patrick de Silva Kularatne and its principal was J.E. Jayasooriya. During World War II a section from Ananda College- Colombo, along with the teachers, shifted to the Dharmapala Vidyalaya premises due to fear of war. To accommodate these students more Cadjan sheds were built. Later six permanent classrooms were built for the Primary Section. The then-principal of Ananda College, P De S Kularathna, led this project. With the exit of Jayasooriya, D. C. Lawris took over as principal in 1943. The school registered as an independent institute and a Class 1 school for higher education. Up to H.S.C, many more students started entering Dharmapala. With the help of many donors and with the money collected by the students, another five classrooms were built for the Primary Section. By February 1947 there were 3,920 students and H.S.C. classes were started. Lawris left Dharmapala Vidyalaya to take over as the principal of Ananda College, Colombo.[2] Houses
