Ananda Sastralaya (sinhala: ආනන්ද ශාස්ත්රාලය) is a public boys school located in Kotte, Sri Lanka. It was founded in 1890 as Kotte Buddhist English Mixed School.[1] In 1952 a part of the school land was designated by the Government as an archaeological site[2] since an underground residence of a Buddhist place of worship was discovered at the site.[3]
