Sri International School combines the best practices of internationally tested standards of the IGCSE system, exposing students to the latest developments in education and enabling migration between diverse educational streams. Courses are designed with reduced levels of prescription in favour of frame works within which teachers devise a curriculum to suit local circumstances in our country, there are greater expectations in terms of skills and dispositions, which are perceived as relevant to life long learning, employment and Social participation.

The curricula are formulated in terms of learning outcomes that are tangible and immediately recognized by students. The school encourages an integrated approach to learning, where subjects are taught in relation to each other and not in isolation so that students grasp the holistic picture and the relationship between component parts.
