A large number of Indians who were working in Salalah had been compelled to leave their families behind because there was no means of providing education to their children here. It was a long-cherished dream for the Indian expatriate community of Salalah to establish a community school in this city. Prominent members of the Indian Community took up the initiative and the dream became a reality when Indian School Salalah opened on 11th July 1981. Many families were re-united and children got the opportunity to grow under the guidance, love, and care of both their parents. Thus, besides providing education, the school fulfilled a deeply felt social and emotional need. Initially, it started functioning under the auspices of the Indian Club in their premises near the Al Hasn Palace. In the first year 1981-82, there were just 74 students and classes from LKG to IV. Later the school was shifted to a rented building in New Salalah for a short period till a part of the present building was constructed. At present, the school has around 4400 students on its rolls. It has classes from LKG to XII and these classes run into several sections the total of which is 112. There are 168 teachers, 19 non-teaching staff, and 28 Omani staff members serving the institution. The school management, administration, teaching, and non-teaching will continue striving hard with utmost sincerity and dedication to take the school to further heights. "Education" word conjures up different things in the minds of different people for it depends usually on what they have entitled that for life. Education is that fine line beyond which the horizon stretches holding all the potential of growth. To learn, to be guided, and to be open to each experience and extract the best and leave out the rest and strike on – that is the essence we seek to infuse in the students of our school. The overall development of the body-mind and souls is the mission. The approach is child-centric because we believe that every child has his/her individuality. The culture of the school and vision of the school and the teacher's way of life will imbibe the development of the five minds among the students. The curriculum will not be textbook-driven or fragmented but will be thematic, project-based, and integrated, skills and context shall not be taught as an end in themselves, but students shall learn them through their research and application in their projects. Textbooks shall be just one of the many resources. Students will be motivated to achieve higher levels of learning in all content areas from science to maths, environment to culture, and nutrition. The school and the community shall have a unidirectional approach in making the school in which the students – all of them are so excited about the school that they can hardly wait to get there. Imagine having little or no "discipline problem" because the students are so engaged in their studies that those problems disappear. Imagine having parents calling, sending notes, and coming up to the school to tell you about the dramatic changes they are witnessing in their children's newfound enthusiasm and excitement for school, a desire to work. Imagine your children making exponential growth in their basic skills of reading, writing, speaking, listening, researching, scientific exploration, maths, multimedia skills, and more. This is possible. It can happen it is happening in schools. It only requires the school and community to come together. View full school

The British School Salalah is a small, nonprofit community school gifted to the British community in Salalah in the 1970s by the Sultan of Oman.

The school is run by a Board of Governors made up of parents, teachers, and influential professional members of the community in Salalah.
