It has come to be known as HIS in the year 2011, and is today located in its own premises- Anderson Road, Dehiwela, set up in a 120-perch land with state of the art infrastructure including a fully equipped science lab, audio visual room, library and swimming pool.
The school is ably piloted by Mrs. Minsharf Imthiaz, the Director of Studies & Head of School, with a wide experience specifically in managing girls’ schools. The school is well staffed and has an emphasis on discipline, morality and religion. Although small in number we are very high in spirits. Lot of extracurricular activities are encouraged for well-rounded individuals and essential academics are inculcated within a pleasant homey environment, a striking feature at HIS.
In academics the school has been able to produce good number of students entering higher education and the school maintains an incredible reputation for ethics and values. It truly inspires excellence.
