The Overseas School of Colombo (OSC) has again achieved international success, claiming Gold at the International ARC Awards in New York for its 2023/24 Annual Report, “Timeless Dedication: Celebrating the Faces Behind Our Progress.”
The award is a significant milestone for OSC, symbolizing more than just recognition. OSC’s legacy is built on a strong vision and dedication, shaped by the love and determination of many individuals who have propelled the school’s success.
“Timeless Dedication” is a tribute to the true heart of the school—the teachers, staff, students, and community whose passion and commitment shape OSC’s enduring journey and legacy daily. Furthermore, being recognised alongside some of the world’s most popular and cherished brands is truly an extraordinary feat.
“This triumph is not just about an award, but a reflection of OSC’s philosophy – that we are a community rooted in trust and openness, where every individual is part of the story, striving for excellence in all we do,” said Nel Capadona, OSC’s Head of School.
OSC has achieved back-to-back Gold victories at the ARCs in 2024 and 2025, following a Silver in 2022. It remains the only IB World School and Sri Lankan institution to win this honor, solidifying its global presence.
Jehan de Silva, OSC’s Director of Marketing and Communications, emphasizes that the achievement reflects the dedication of the entire community, celebrating professionalism, creativity, and heart. This consistent success highlights OSC’s commitment to excellence and its ability to share its authentic story.
