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.
