Oman Private School (OPS) in Bousher, Muscat, opened in 1977 as the first private school in the Sultanate of Oman. It combines an international, Cambridge-oriented education with Islamic values and the Arabic language, and today teaches students aged 3 to 19 from 28 nationalities, with an average class size of 18. Children begin in Kindergarten and continue through the Cambridge Pathway: Cambridge Primary from about age 5, with English, mathematics and science alongside ICT, art and physical education taught by specialists; Cambridge Lower Secondary from about 11; Cambridge IGCSE and O Level from about 14; and Cambridge advanced study from 16, according to the programmes offered. Teaching is inquiry-based and aims to develop critical thinking, independent learning and digital skills, while character education draws on Islamic traditions of honesty, justice and charity. Admission involves an application, a diagnostic entrance assessment and an interview with the student and parents.
Approach · General Curriculum
Languages
Language learning at OPS starts in both Arabic and English. The Kindergarten builds early listening, speaking, word recognition and communication in the two languages, so that children take their first steps into learning bilingually. As pupils move into the Cambridge Primary programme and beyond, English is the main academic language of the Cambridge curriculum, with English lessons developing reading, writing, comprehension and communication, while the school keeps a strong foundation in Arabic language alongside Islamic values throughout a student's time at the school.
