Welcome to The Tree House International, a pioneering institution nestled in Dehiwala and the first of its kind in Sri Lanka, devoted to children with special needs. Operated by the distinguished Dr Anton James and Chrystal Honsaker (CJ), this remarkable school stands at the forefront of specialised education.
Dr Anton is a distinguished psychologist with exceptional qualifications spanning multiple international jurisdictions. He holds prestigious credentials, including Chartered Psychologist (UK) and the unique distinction of being the only Chartered Behavioural Psychologist in South Asia. He is also a Licensed Psychologist (Maldives), Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (USA), and International Behaviour Analyst (IBAO). Notably, Dr Anton is the sole Chartered Educational Assessor in Sri Lanka and was honoured in 2024 with the highest accolade from the British Psychological Society, making him the only Sri Lankan to receive this esteemed recognition.
