The school currently maintains a student body of 1800 and approximately 75 teachers. The institution conducts 3 streams of classes in Sinhala, Tamil and English with English as a second language. HistoryIn 1866, Miss Catherine Scott, a British missionary came to Sri Lanka (then known as Ceylon) and started the "Kollupitiya Girl's English School" in a large room with barely 40 girls. In 1883, when Miss Scott left, the school was registered as a "Grant-in-Aid" English high school with 99 students and renamed as "Kollupitiya Girls High School." 1915 The School was recognized as a fully organized Secondary School and its name was changed to Methodist College. In 1917, the 1st Colombo (Methodist College) Guide Company was founded by Ms. Choate and captained by Ms. Shire. In 1919 the Old Girls Association was established and this organization now has branches in London, Melbourne, Sydney, Toronto, Victoria and Southern California.
