About IESD
Pioneering excellence in English speech, drama, and communication since 2010
Our Journey
From vision to reality - shaping confident communicators since 2010
The Institute of English Speech and Drama was first envisioned in 2010, with a strong focus on preparing students for examinations while providing them with deeper knowledge of subjects and improved methods of learning.
Over the years, the Institute gradually refined its teaching approaches, gained valuable experience in training students, and ensured that its faculty obtained the necessary professional qualifications.
In 2021, this vision took formal shape with the official establishment of the Institute. Since then, it has successfully conducted examination sessions in the Western Province, upholding its commitment to academic excellence and performance-based learning.
Our Mission
To empower individuals with exceptional communication skills through comprehensive training in English speech and drama, fostering confidence, clarity, and impact in every interaction.
We strive to create a learning environment where students not only master the technical aspects of communication but also develop the poise and presence to excel in any setting.
Our Vision
To be the premier destination for language and public speaking excellence in Sri Lanka, recognized for producing articulate, confident, and impactful communicators who excel in their personal and professional lives.
We envision a society where effective communication bridges gaps, creates opportunities, and transforms individuals into leaders and influencers.
