History

During the late nineteenth-century Sinhalese Buddhist revival, Buddhist Theosophical Society under the guidance of colonel Henry steel olcott founded several Buddhist schools around the country to provide English education to Buddhist students who would otherwise have had to go to a missionary school in order to study English. Under that program, They founded a school named "Kandy High school" on a piece of land at Katugasthota.^[1] The school opened with only 16 students in 1890 with Mr. Niyangoda as the first principle of the school.^[1]
