From government and aided schools to private institutions and early childhood centers, the Good Shepherd Sisters have shaped quality education in Sri Lanka for generations.
These schools are fully funded by the Government to provide free education to students from lower middle classes, and abide by the rules and regulations stipulated by the Government.

Aided (non fee-levying) schools are owned by the Catholic Church in Sri Lanka and receive Government aid for teachers' salaries and administrative purposes. Good Shepherd Convent Kotahena began functioning on 1st May 1869 with just 8 students, under the leadership of the first Superior of the Convent, Sr. Mary of the Seven Dolours Joly, as Principal.

In 1951, St. Bridget's Convent opted to become an unaided school — the only Catholic school to take this option. It remains unaided to this day, managing to function solely on fees charged from students, without receiving Government aid for teachers' salaries or administrative purposes.
We are engaged in Early Childhood Education across different parts of the country. Five of these centres are Montessories admitting children from two-and-a-half years old and following the AMI method of teaching; the other centres accommodate children aged 4 to 6.
