It offers primary and secondary education for more than 2,000 students from grade 1 to 13.During the late nineteenth-century Sinhalese Buddhist revival, Buddhist Theosophical Society under the guidance of Colonel Henry Steel Olcott founded several Buddhist schools around the country to provide English education to Buddhist students who would otherwise have had to go to a missionary school in order to study English.

Under that program, they founded a school, Kandy High School, on a piece of land at Katugasthota.

[1] There are four college houses named after four Sinhalese kings.

Students compete against each other representing their respective houses to win the annual inter-house games.
