Indian School Salalah

Today the school has an excellent infrastructure and state of art facilities. Besides a lush green playground, the school has very spacious and well equipped Physics, Chemistry, Biology and five Computer Science laboratories, Junior Science and Maths laboratories, an Audio Visual Aids room, a fully computerized library and a multi purpose hall as well as an imposing stage overlooking the playground. Also ISS has gone hi-tech with Smart Boards.

A large number of Indians who were working in Salalah had been compelled to leave their families behind, owing to the fact that there was no means of providing education to their children here. It was a long cherished dream for the Indian expatriate community of Salalah to establish a community school in this city.

Indian School Salalah opened on 11th July 1981. Many families were re-united and children got the opportunity to grow under the guidance, love and care of both their parents. Thus, besides providing education, the school fulfilled a deeply-felt social and emotional need. Initially, it started functioning under the auspices of the Indian Club in their premises near the Al Hasn Palace. In the first year 1981-82, there were just 74 students and classes from LKG to IV. Later the school was shifted to a rented building in New Salalah for a short period till a part of the present building was constructed.

The school is self sufficient in finance. It does not get any aid from any government or other organization. It functions on the fees collected from students. However, for the improvement of the infrastructure, the school organized different fund raising programmes likes car raffles, fun-fair, sponsored run, Holi mela, Bharat Darshan, exhibitions, carnival 2015, publication of souvenir magazines on completion of 10, 25 years and 34 years and 40 years.
