MUSCAT : Ahmad Bin Majid (ABM) International School celebrated the outstanding achievements of its students at its 2026 General Education Diploma and Cambridge IGCSE Recognition Ceremony, marking a historic milestone as the school celebrates its tenth consecutive year of achieving the nation’s top General Education Diploma results.

The ceremony brought together distinguished guests, members of the Board of Directors, educators, parents and the wider school community to honor students whose dedication, perseverance and academic excellence continue to set a national benchmark.

The boys’ ceremony was inaugurated by His Excellency Sheikh Dr. Mansour bin Talib Al Hinai, Chairman of the Authority for Public Services Regulation, while the girls’ ceremony was graced by Honourable Dr. Badriya bint Ibrahim Al Shehi, Former Deputy Chairperson – State Council (2019-2023).

This year, 31 GED top achievers, 13 girls and 18 boys, were recognized for outstanding averages ranging from 94.5% to 99%. In addition, 11 students, 8 girls and 3 boys, were honored for exceptional Cambridge IGCSE results, reflecting ABM’s commitment to internationally benchmarked academic standards.

Addressing the ceremony, ABM Board Member Hamad bin Najim Al Timami emphasized that the school’s achievements extend beyond classrooms and examination results. He highlighted ABM’s philosophy of developing students of strong character, integrity, respect, responsibility, compassion and resilience, while preparing them to become confident and capable future leaders.

The school’s educational philosophy is reflected in a wide range of experiential and global programs. Through its Umrah Program, students develop leadership, responsibility and service while deepening their connection to their faith and heritage. Cultural exchange initiatives in Germany and Japan broaden students’ global perspectives while strengthening their pride in representing Oman.

Students have also participated in UNESCO programs focused on sustainability, heritage and global citizenship, winning the CIPP Global Award from among 30,000 participants for a sustainable city design. Through its partnership with Sultan Qaboos University, students have gained hands on experience in archaeological excavation and research, contributing to discoveries of sites and artifacts dating back approximately 3,000 years.

ABM’s NASA affiliated research and leadership programs have provided students with opportunities to participate in authentic astronomical research, including contributing to the discovery of a new asteroid. Harvard affiliated programs in entrepreneurship, artificial intelligence, investment and leadership further support the development of innovation and future ready skills.

Together, these opportunities reflect ABM’s guiding philosophy: “The journey begins in Oman, and the vision extends to the world.”

“The school believes that academic excellence is strengthened when students remain connected to their Omani identity while engaging confidently with the wider world,” noted Waheeda Said, ABM Board Member.

As the ceremony concluded, ABM celebrated not only the remarkable results of its students, but the partnership between students, parents, teachers and school leadership that has sustained a decade of excellence. The school reaffirmed its commitment to nurturing young people who are academically accomplished, culturally grounded and prepared to lead with confidence, integrity and purpose.
