Founded in 2012, OurPlanet International School Muscat (OPIS) is a co-educational school in the heart of Oman's capital, Muscat. We currently welcome students aged 3-16 from diverse cultural backgrounds encompassing nearly 30 different nationalities.

OPIS aims to foster a multicultural and inquiry-led learning environment in English and Arabic that promotes sustainability and celebrates Oman's unique cultural identity. We believe in creating lifelong learners who will build a better and more sustainable Oman and wider world.

The OPIS community is a close-knit mesh of passionate and knowledgeable educators, inquiry-minded students, and dedicated parents. Our PTA plays a vital supporting role in this, planning events and organizing different ways to bring all members of the OPIS community together.

The contextualized blend of different curriculums offered at OPIS empowers students to expand their horizons and prepare to become responsible and independent global citizens. English-language subjects include Math, Social Studies, Science, English Language & Literature, Visual Art, Music, Design, PSPE and Islamic Studies. Arabic-language subjects include Omani Social Studies, Arabic Language & Literature and Islamic Studies. German and Arabic are also taught as additional languages.

"Omani Hearts and International Minds" is our motto, and our school events calendar reflects this belief. We celebrate Omani Women’s Day, Omani National Day and International Peace Day, alongside events dedicated to local and global sustainability awareness and action. School events also include a winter concert, outdoor learning days, and athletic competitions, while service projects and community fundraisers are a common occurrence, initiated and planned by our internationally-minded and action-oriented students.

Field trips play a significant role in our curriculum as well, reflecting our belief that environments outside the classroom have much to teach our students. We plan educational trips throughout the year, including overnight stays, that help build leadership qualities in each student. Learner Profile Attributes play a central role on all school trips, as well as a focus on communication, thinking, self-management and problem-solving skills. Opportunities for student leadership are also available through the OPIS Student Council, which is geared towards supporting sustainability initiatives in the community and at the school, as well as the development of Service as Action learning outcomes.

Finally, the OPIS After School Activities programme includes a blend of arts, language and sports. We pride ourselves on providing a wide range of activities to students, engaging with the best vendors in Muscat alongside our in-house teacher practitioners.

Enrollment, based on availability, is open all year round. Applicants must supply school reports from the previous two academic years and pass grade-level entrance assessments. Applicants are encouraged to visit OPIS to meet with our Admissions Team, tour our school facilities and experience our community. For further details, please contact admissions@ourplanet-muscat.com.
