Message From Chairman

With a profound sense of responsibility and a resolute commitment to educational transformation, I extend my warmest greetings to the vibrant Indian Schools Oman community our students, parents, educators, support staff, and dedicated stakeholders.


As the Chairman of the Board of Directors overseeing 22 Indian Schools across the Sultanate of Oman, it is both an honour and a privilege to be part of an institution deeply rooted in values, yet boldly embracing the future. From Muscat to Salalah, from Sur to Khasab, our schools are nurturing a generation of learners ready to excel not only academically but also as compassionate, globally minded citizens.

Our vision is driven by the tenets of equity, excellence, innovation, and integrity. We are transitioning into a future-ready educational ecosystem, strategically aligned with global best practices, national priorities, and the evolving aspirations of the Indian diaspora in Oman.

Aligned with the Ministry of Education, Oman, and anchored in India’s national curriculum, our schools serve as cultural and academic bridges, preserving identity while promoting global perspectives. We are proud to offer a learning continuum that respects tradition yet thrives on innovation.

As part of our strategic roadmap for the 2025–27 term, the Board has embarked on a bold transformation agenda. This includes the rollout of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Financial Literacy into the academic framework beginning Grade 5 onwards—a move designed to bridge future skills gaps and prepare our students for an increasingly digitized and financially complex world. These initiatives are being integrated alongside robust Professional Development plans for educators and infrastructural modernization across the school network.

We are also undertaking a comprehensive infrastructure development initiative, with development projects already in process at Indian School Muscat, Darsait, Seeb, Sur, and Salalah. In parallel, we are actively pursuing new school establishments in underserved areas such as Barka and Sinaw, based on clear community demand.

Our leadership philosophy is rooted in evidence-based decision-making, transparent governance, and student-centred policy-making. We believe that strong institutions are built on robust systems, forward-thinking pedagogy, and inclusive stakeholder engagement.

We are also investing in 21st-century skills, with emphasis on STEM integration, sports infrastructure, vocational learning, and digital literacy. The planned launch of a centralized Sports Academy further affirms our commitment to holistic development, ensuring diverse growth pathways for every learner.

As we navigate this transformative journey, our guiding mission remains unchanged: to deliver an environment where every learner is empowered to thrive, every teacher is equipped to lead, and every school reflects the highest standards of excellence.

I invite parents, educators, students, and alumni to stand united in this shared vision. Let us reimagine education together—so our children are not just prepared for the next exam, but for the next era.
