Indian School Al Wadi Al Kabir

The Indian School Al Wadi Al Kabir was formally founded in 1941 as a Gujarati Medium School for the children of the members of the business community. It began to take its present shape in 1987 as Indian School Muttrah, with English as the medium of instruction. It was named Indian School AL Wadi Al Kabir because of its location when it moved into its new premises in September 1993.

The School was granted composite affiliation till grade X in December 1992, and was later upgraded to Senior Secondary level in 1999. It is managed by an association of members of the business community in Muscat through a committee called the Managing Committee of Indian School AL Wadi Al Kabir.

Our mission is to establish, and maintain the highest standards of excellence in education by creating an integrative, developmental and student-centered learning environment, where students are nurtured and encouraged to achieve their maximum potential in a changing world.

At ISWK, we are committed to cultivating lifelong learners who are responsible, productive and useful members of the community, and who are prepared to positively contribute to the needs and aspiration of a global society.

By now the school had begun to feel a growing pressure and demand to convert the medium of instruction to English to enable its students to meet the challenges of the modern era. This change was introduced in 1979. In 1987, the school was brought under the umbrella of the Indian School system and was named as Indian School Muttrah.

The best asset of the school is its teachers; they form its backbone. All the teachers of the School are well qualified. To keep them abreast with developments in the field of education, frequent in-house workshops are conducted. Apart from these, in-service workshops by experts in different subjects are also periodically conducted. Some of these that have been held in the past few years were in Hindi, Mathematics and Social Studies at the Middle and the Secondary level, in Mathematics and Environmental Studies for Primary teachers and on Activity based approach for Kindergarten. Objective-based teaching and evaluation, Value Education in classroom are a few other topics. These staff developmental activities have enabled us to reorganize teaching to make it activity baseded and application oriented, with emphasis on the acquisition of self-learning skills by children. Methods of evaluation have also undergone a change in keeping with the current teaching-learning approach.
