Indian Schools in Oman, established by the Board of Directors aim primarily to educate the students of the Indian Community residing within the sultanate of Oman. The Schools function and operate as non-political, secular, non-profit making, and self-sustaining institutions. Indian Schools in Oman, impart quality education to children of the Indian diaspora and also to the children of other nationalities through 19 schools across Oman.
All schools are governed and mentored by the fifteen-member Board of Directors, collectively striving to provide quality education to over 37,000 students. Individual schools are further mentored by a group of Directors of the Board, who actively support, guide, and monitor the functions of the institutions.
The Board of Directors strives to provide affordable quality education aiming at the overall development of the children. Every effort is made by the Board of Directors to ensure that no Indian child is deprived of education for any reason, whatsoever. To provide the best to our children, the Board of Directors continuously endeavor to improve the facilities in Indian Schools and also to expand the infrastructure. Indian School Muladha is one of the institutions under the umbrella of the Board of Directors of Indian Schools in Oman.

We have sufficient space to absorb the expansion and up-gradation of the school in the next few years. We have constructed a play area for the KG Section ‘KIDS WORLD’. More play-way methods are anticipated at the lower levels and a greater emphasis is being placed on the development of the individual child as a person and a member of the society.
