The Overseas School of Colombo triumphs with Silver at ARC Awards

The Overseas School of Colombo celebrates a global accolade as the first Sri Lankan educational institution to holistically cover the broader spectrum of the academic sphere to ever win an ARC Award. 
OSC attained the Silver award at the 36th Annual ARC Awards (headquartered in New York) for OSC’s 2020/21 annual report, themed ‘Our A-Team Brings Its A-Game to School’, competing under the ‘Non-Profit Organisation’ category.
The prestigious ARC Awards is renowned as the ‘Oscars of Annual Reports’, recognising the highest benchmarks in the annual report industry. 
Head of School Dr. Michelle Kleiss shared her thoughts on this milestone: “I am super proud of OSC’s annual report and the recognition we received from the ARC Awards. Our aim with our school’s annual report has always been to share the story of our school in a transparent way that communicates what we most believe in and what we highly value across our community.” 
Founded in 1957, OSC is the oldest international school in Sri Lanka and is notably the only IB World School in the country.  “As Sri Lanka’s premier international school, we pride ourselves in not just being the first but also being the best at what we do,” said Jehan de Silva, who heads the school’s branding, marketing and communications function. 
He added, “We are truly honoured and incredibly proud of our success at the ARCs - thanks to our team that we cherish over and above all else – making it a first for a Sri Lankan educational institution, an accolade that will surely resonate and inspire future generations.”
