MUSCAT: ABA Oman International School has built a remarkable reputation as the top international Baccalaureate school in Muscat, Oman. In exciting news, the school recently announced that the entire school will move to the new campus, after 34 years at its current location.  Rather than splitting its students over two campuses, all grades will be together at the new Al Irfan campus. This location is convenient for families, has remarkable amenities, and will help the school deliver a smoother experience to its valued students.

“We are delighted to be keeping our community all together on one campus,” commented Craig Williamson, Head of School. “This will enable us to continue to provide an international education of the highest quality to help fulfil our mission of enabling students to be confident, responsible, caring, life-long learners.”

According to its Board of Directors, ABA Oman International School’s new Al Irfan campus will have Elementary students, including Early Childhood, joining its Middle and High School students. The Sports Complex, which includes an indoor swimming pool, tennis courts and sports fields, is in the final decorative stages and will be completed in May.  Work continues on the Main School Building through the Summer months and will welcome students next school year.

The school has also made some changes to its fee structure, making it even more attractive to expat families.  Families now have the option of paying the enrolment fee over four annual payments rather than having to pay all at the start. This protects families from losing money should they leave Oman before four years.

Reviews of the school continue to point to it as the top 3-programme international Baccalaureate school in Muscat. 

A recent review remarked, “A great school, now without the drive. Living in Al Mouj [the Wave], my family is excited to start at ABA the next school year and have the best international school closer to home. I fully recommend ABA if you are here in Muscat and looking for an international school that values diversity, global perspective and world-class academic results”.

The non-profit school has over 930 students aged three to 18 attending, over 75 nationalities represented, close to 150 international, highly-trained staff, and has been active since 1987.
