Al Sahwa schools has a rich heritage and tradition that gives it an important place in the educational landscape of Oman. We educate children from kindergarten to grade 12 through a thoughtfully planned curriculum that honors and celebrates the rich heritage of the Sultanate of Oman underpinned by modern pedagogy and an international perspective. Our dedicated and hard working staff are recruited for their skills and experience but we also actively embrace our role preparing students to become global citizens in our recruitment. We therefore currently have 26 different nationalities represented on our staff. For well over 100 years there was little fundamental change in education, but advances in technology in the last 30 years or so have seen a fundamental shift. While foundational information still has an important role, students now have an increasing need to know how to judge the quality of information they are accessing, to use it in a considered and innovative manner, to think creatively and to be able to communicate and collaborate in a range of medium with people from a wide variety of cultures and backgrounds. These are the skills and attitudes that will separate those who will be equipped for the future from those that are not.
