We are of the firm belief that the guiding philosophy of right education, along with Buddhist teachings, can transform the lives of today’s youth. Also, we seriously believe a student nurtured around Buddhism can radiate the goodness of Load Buddha’s doctrines. Because we live in an era where practicing religious teachings is greatly influenced by societal influences, our attention to Buddhism will greatly inculcate the wellbeing of society.
At SBC, Matale, we conduct classes from primary, secondary, and all the way to collegiate. We prepare students to sit for the national scholarship exam (Grade 5), the General Certificate of Education (G.C.E) Ordinary Level (O/Ls) and the Advanced Level (A/Ls). Apart from classroom education, students can take part in extra-curricular activities and sports activities where they can take part in national sporting events.

The guiding philosophy of Sinhala Buddhist College, Matale is that right education along with Buddhist teachings can transform the lives of today’s youth, producing young, respectful citizens of character, who will in turn guide the fates of their respective societies. Thus, this is the underlining objective of setting up this school.
I am of the view that Buddhism encourages its people to avoid self-indulgence but also self-denial. Buddha’s most important teachings, known as the Four Noble Truths, are essential to understanding the religion. We at SBC Matale go to extra lengths to inculcate religious teachings to enrich the lives of students through our well-rounded activities centered around Buddhism.
The Sinhala Buddhist College, Matale, seeks to make learning an enriching experience due to the school curriculum being interlined with Buddhist teachings and philosophies. At the same time, we have taken great pains to make our learning experience enjoyable for both teachers and students.
We have strived to create an environment in which the student willingly accepts the challenges of becoming a respectful citizen who greatly values Buddhist religious teaching and who lives according to the precepts of the Buddha. We at SBC, Matale teach Sinhala and Tamil languages and also impart knowledge like IT skills, which are very much needed to survive in the new world order.
