The magnificent building of the main school Pakistan School Muscat (PSM) stands in a prime location overlooking the Ruwi Valley and the Central Business District. His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said generously donated this piece of land for the school. The Sultanate of Oman under the benign and visionary leadership of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said has always helped the school and provided it with every opportunity to progress and prosper. Pakistan school Muscat was established in a rented flat in Muscat in 1975, as a result of a decision made in the first meeting of the Pakistani Culture Centre. The school was shifted to its present spacious campus in February 1981. The first batch of students appeared for SSC and H.S.S.C examinations in 1983 and 1985 respectively. The year 1986 saw the construction of a mosque on the school campus and also witnessed the establishment of science laboratories. The school library was established in 1993 and the Junior Block was added to the school building in 2004 with an extension of 16 more rooms in 2011. Pakistan School Muscat has evolved its repute as an international institute by providing education to more than 15 expatriate communities residing in the Sultanate. With its four branches at Musanna, Nizwa, Salalah, and Sohar, Pakistan School Muscat is striving hard for excellence in all fields of knowledge and learning, by providing the best possible facilities to teachers and the taught through the optimum utilization of the available resources. The prime aim of an ideal educational institution should be developing the child student into a well-informed, confident, sensitive, and useful citizen. Education is all about developing potential and transforming a little bud into full blossom. Pakistan School Muscat, which started functioning in 1975 with only six students, has taken long and impressive strides since then. Today the school has about 1400 students on its rolls, O & A level classes, well-equipped science and computer laboratories, impressive buildings, playgrounds, and a spacious auditorium. All these endowments have made PSM an ideal community school, with an international flavor. PSM has also shown consistently good results in recent years. The new Board of Governors, composed of eminent Pakistanis, has inculcated transparency and merit into the school system. The dedication of faculty in providing quality education is admirable. Several former PSM students who have done well in life are a testimony to the hard work of their teachers. However, in this age of increasing competition and fast developments, we cannot be complacent. We must continue to strive for higher standards, a congenial academic atmosphere, and produce better results to win the confidence of increasingly demanding parents. Today our school is affiliated with Federal Board Islamabad, Edexcel International London, and Cambridge International London. It is contributing to quality education which is being provided with a competitive environment in the institution. Keeping alive the tradition of Pakistan Schools in Oman, the currently passed out students also showed an exemplary performance by attaining A and A+ grades which is indeed a great pride for all of us. The school management has built bridges for parents, students, and the school to maximize communication and interaction among them. It has helped the stakeholders to face the hard challenges and put in sincere efforts to overcome the difficulties and obstructions coming our way. View full school

The teachers at ALIS Learning Centers are passionate about your child’s happiness and growth. They’re dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing environment that cultivates self-esteem. ALIS is more than a job to them. It’s an opportunity to share their passion for life while they awaken the wonder inside every child. Here’s how they do it. Our low teacher-to-student ratios allow teachers to focus on the individual learning styles and needs of each child in our center. ALis teachers and staff want to form a strong partnership with you to ensure the best possible experience for your child. Our teachers provide daily communication with families and seek to understand your unique needs. ALIS centers devote more time and resources to teacher training than any other childcare provider. Twice a year we host the largest early childhood teacher training program in the country. Our teachers are dedicated to developing your child’s potential and are sensitive to your child’s individual needs. The Achievement Gap is Not a Problem While no reasonable opponent of early childhood education can deny the existence of an obvious achievement gap in education, by totally ignoring the fact that the academic playing field is not level, they’re perpetuating a serious myth of omission. If you ignore the achievement gap and its causes, it makes it a lot easier to argue against early education spending. We know that kids who get off to a bad start in school have a hard time making up the ground, and while teachers make a big difference, they can’t control what happens outside the classroom. Your child’s first years of school are filled with many wondrous moments. It’s a time of tremendous social, emotional, physical, and intellectual development, and it can come and go before you know it. The skills learned at this stage — knowing what sounds the letter A makes or adding 2 + 2 — may seem simple but they will set your child up for a lifetime of learning. Pre-K may look like all fun and games (music, storytime, dancing, art) but there’s an intense amount of brainwork going on. View full school

One of the major considerations that an expatriate executive or academic has to bear in mind when moving overseas is the quality of education that his or her children will receive in the prospective host country. The high quality of education and international ambiance at ABA help to make the Sultanate an attractive destination for the kind of professional expertise that the country seeks to attract. Today, the 1050 students at ABA are drawn from more than 65 nationalities. Their parents work in every important sector of the economy including government, oil, the Sultan Qaboos University, and other educational institutions, and public companies and private businesses. Parents and their children mix widely within Omani society. Our students are involved in many projects both in Oman and overseas. Co-curricular activities such as Adventure Oman, The Duke of Edinburgh International Award, and Discovery Week encourage engagement with Oman while a long-standing relationship with an area of Tanzania has been established. Parents too play a role and we are very lucky to have an extremely active PTA (Parent-Teacher Association) and an ever busy and supportive Booster Club. Each in their way brings our community together to celebrate our diversity and our shared goals. Our PTA works with a tremendous volunteer team, which consistently year after year, demonstrates steadfast commitment and enthusiasm to ABA’s initiatives translating into substantial record levels of fundraising. As important, our community of volunteers is generous in gifts of time a well as treasure. Every year, ABA relies on fundraising efforts and gifts from the local community. This philanthropic support ensures that ABA teachers have the resources they need to provide innovative programs and embark on new initiatives. Committed, caring, challenging ABA teachers and support staff spend their time giving to their students. Their dedication has created the rigorous curricula and imaginative extra-curricular programs that develop each student’s strengths bring up-to-date technology into every classroom and throughout the teaching and learning process and ensures the student's exposure to the wealth of learning opportunities outside the classroom.

Their vision is to be one of the world\'s leading international schools, offering consistently innovative and inspiring teaching and a broad enrichment program that allows every pupil to pursue individual passions and interests in world-class facilities and a safe, stimulating multi-cultural environment. Welcome to British School Muscat. I am proud to lead our dynamic, thriving, and successful school where visitors consistently comment on the relaxed and purposeful atmosphere around the site, our polite and motivated pupils, and our friendly, family atmosphere. When you are a long way from home I think that it is even more important that your child and your family immediately feel safe, secure, and amongst friends with a supportive international community. This is the starting point for successful learning. Over the last 3 years, we have transformed our school by creating exciting, impressive and inspiring facilities for all our pupils. We are seeing the results of this hard work with some excellent exam results last summer that placed us in the top 3 British international schools in the GCC and top 5% of UK independent and state schools. Furthermore, in our recent British Schools Overseas Inspection (overseen by the Department of Education and Ofsted in England), our school is described as “Outstanding with exemplary features”. Our GCSE results place BSM in the top 3 British International Schools in the Middle East and the top 5% of independent and state schools in the UK. BSM’s growing international reputation for excellence and innovation helps us to attract, retain and develop high-quality UK-trained teachers who are proud to work with our engaged, motivated, and high achieving pupils. To prepare our pupils for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead we value learning that focuses on high performance in public examinations, healthy living and well-being, character development, and global citizenship. We call this approach the BSM Learning Ethos and it underpins learning and teaching throughout our school. With more than 300 activities to choose from, our Enrichment program provides our pupils with opportunities to pursue and explore their talents and interests through a wide range of competitive and recreational sports, performing and creative arts activities, and academic extension and support programs. Our priority is to ensure that your child is a safe, happy, and confident learner. All our staff is trained to offer care and support to our pupils daily. Our dedicated team of assistants, teachers, counselors, and nurses, led by our Well Being Manager, can also offer specialized support and guidance to pupils when required. British School Muscat is very proud to be named International School of the Year 2019 at this year's International School Awards in London for our Internship Programme. We are immensely proud to win this award and delighted that the hard work that has gone into setting up our “Award Winning” internship program has been recognized. In recent years BSM has been going from strength to strength due to the dedication and commitment of our talented teaching team, supported by our parents, governors, and partners locally and further afield. It is wonderful for our whole school community, not least our amazing students, to see our progress validated with this prestigious award. Muscat English Speaking School, as BSM was first known, opened in 1971 in the house of the B.P Manager in Riyam (near Muttrah), with three children and one qualified teacher. Shortly after it moved to the renovated old Consulate Club belonging to the British Embassy in Muscat, with five pupils. In 1972 the school moved again to a new site next to Hochtief/Six Construct (the company then constructing Muttrah Port) School in Darsait, with three classrooms and 33 children on roll. Fees were raised to 75 Omani Rials. Later that year, the school received its first visit from Her Majesty’s Inspectors of Schools to ensure it was developing in line with best British practice. On 30 April 1973, the Subscribers, (firms in the business community whose assistance had made the foundation of the school possible - see below for a list), formally applied to His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said for a Charter. His Majesty graciously granted the School a Royal Charter on 3 May 1973, and since then the school has welcomed young people from many different countries. In 1974 the Muscat English Speaking School had an enrolment of 60 children, increasing rapidly to 190 pupils by 1975. In June 1975 the school was notified that its premises were required for development by the Ministry of Communication. The decision was made to build a school on the current site in Madinat Al Sultan Qaboos, on land generously made available by the Government of Oman. The new buildings in Madinat Al Sultan Qaboos, including the buildings we now use as the nursery, the main hall, and the staffroom, were completed in 1978. One of the first projects of a newly formed Association of Parents and Friends was to assist with the coordination of the movement of furniture and equipment from Darsait to the new site. Muscat English Speaking School occupied the new site in Madinat Al Sultan Qaboos on 1 April 1978 with 257 children in 14 classes. On the morning of 3 May 1978 Mr. CJ Treadwell, the British Ambassador and president of the school, officially opened the buildings and asked for the children to be given one day’s holiday to celebrate the occasion. By the spring term of 1984, there was a total enrolment of 591 children in 21 classes at the main Primary school. In the Secondary school, then located in a separate villa, numbers had risen to 50 children in 4 classes. In August 1984, an enthusiastic cast of children and teachers from the Secondary school traveled to Edinburgh to perform in the fringe festival. So successful was this expedition that photographs and an article appeared on the front page of The Times Educational Supplement in Britain. On 14 March 1987, following years of development discussions concerning the need for school expansion, the British Ambassador, Mr. R J Alston, Said the foundations for new buildings, to give space for the senior school to move onto the current site. At the beginning of the spring term, there was twenty-nine classrooms, two halls, two music rooms, three science laboratories, two video rooms, an art room, a library, a computer laboratory, and special needs center. The school also had a multi-purpose sports field with running track, football and rounder’s pitches, cricket practice nets, and two tennis/netball/volleyball courts. 1988 was the 15th anniversary year of the charter to the school by his Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said, as well as the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the school on its present site. Both anniversaries were celebrated on the morning of 20 March 1988 when his Highness Sayyid Thuwainy bin Shihab, Personal Representative of his Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said, officially opened the new building at a ceremony attended by all children and many parents and friends.

The Indian School Al Wadi Al Kabir was formally founded in 1941 as a Gujarati Medium School for the children of the members of the business community. It began to take its present shape in 1987 as Indian School Muttrah, with English as the medium of instruction. It was named Indian School AL Wadi Al Kabir because of its location when it moved into its new premises in September 1993. The School was granted composite affiliation till grade X in December 1992 and was later upgraded to Senior Secondary level in 1999. It is managed by an association of members of the business community in Muscat through a committee called the Managing Committee of Indian School Al Wadi Al Kabir. Our mission is to establish and maintain the highest standards of excellence in education by creating an integrative, developmental, and student-centered learning environment, where students are nurtured and encouraged to achieve their maximum potential in a changing world. At ISWK, we are committed to cultivating lifelong learners who are responsible, productive, and useful members of the community, and who are prepared to positively contribute to the needs and aspirations of a global society. By now the school had begun to feel a growing pressure and demand to convert the medium of instruction to English to enable its students to meet the challenges of the modern era. This change was introduced in 1979. In 1987, the school was brought under the umbrella of the Indian School system and was named Indian School Muttrah. The best asset of the school is its teachers they form its backbone. All the teachers of the School are well qualified. To keep them abreast with developments in the field of education, frequent in-house workshops are conducted. Apart from these, in-service workshops by experts in different subjects are also periodically conducted. Some of these that have been held in the past few years were in Hindi, Mathematics, and Social Studies at the Middle and the Secondary level, in Mathematics and Environmental Studies for Primary teachers, and on Activity based approach for Kindergarten. Objective-based teaching and evaluation, Value Education in the classroom are a few other topics. These staff developmental activities have enabled us to reorganize teaching to make it activity-based and application-oriented, with emphasis on the acquisition of self-learning skills by children. Methods of evaluation have also undergone a change in keeping with the current teaching-learning approach. Indian School Alwadi Al Kabir is one of the most prestigious schools in Oman.
