Malimbada Sri Sumedha Maha Vidyalaya is a government school in Matara, Sri Lanka. It was established in 1894. Nowadays this school is being developed under the Sustainable School Programme.[1]

History

The school was established in 1894 by the Methodist Church with eleven students and was known as Batathumbe Methodist College (Sinhalese: බටතුඹේ මෙතෝදිස්ත විද්‍යාලය) for several decades.[2] The first principal of this school was B. De Silva and there were two teachers. The first student of this school was a principal of a school.

The school became a government school in 1912 and the name was changed into Malimbada Sri Sumedha Maha Vidyalaya as a proposal of Mr Samarawickrama, a former principal of this school. Formerly, there were only primary and secondary classes, but the permission was granted to start Advanced Level classes on 10th January 1982. In 1990 R. K. Wijesekara took over as principal of the school.
