A Journey of Excellence and Global Citizenship
Leads International School Negombo recently celebrated its 7th anniversary with the inaugural Purple Walk, a symbolic event that exemplified the school’s ethos of unity and support. What began with just four students in 2017 has rapidly grown into a prominent institution in Negombo, known for its academic excellence and holistic approach to education.
Leads International School Negombo’s vision is clear: to be “Futuristic and Global in Outlook with Religion and Culture as a Firm Foundation. Academic Excellence with Total Personality Development.” This vision is not just a statement but a guiding principle that has shaped the school’s journey over the past seven years.
The Purple Walk was not just a walk; it was a testament to the school’s commitment to nurturing well-rounded individuals. It was a celebration of the achievements and milestones reached by the school, both locally and internationally. It was also a moment to reflect on the values that define Leads International School Negombo – kindness, unity, and a global perspective.

One of the most commendable aspects of Leads International School Negombo is its commitment to environmental conservation. The school’s participation in the World Cleanup Day, under the banner “Not all heroes wear caps, some wear gloves and carry a trash bag to the ocean,” showcases its dedication to creating a cleaner and healthier environment for all.
