Modern International School

Welcome to Modern International School, Oman! MISO is a privately owned international school, licensed by the Ministry of Education of Oman. The school originally started in April 2013 and followed the CBSE-I curriculum. In 2017 the CBSE-I curriculum was no longer recognized by the Ministry of Education in Oman and the owners of the school decided to adopt an American curriculum. A new purpose built facility was also established and the school’s premises shifted to an adjacent suburb. MISO opened its doors again on the 03 September 2017. The school is built on a 13 000 square meter plot and is a multi-story, educational facility. We administer the Cambridge curriculum (Primary, Lower Secondary and IGCSE) curriculums, alongside Arabic Language, Islamic Studies, Social Studies, Arabic Second Language and French curriculums. The school falls under the supervision of the Ministry of Education, Sultanate of Oman. We are located in the prime area of Al-Athaiba in Muscat. Currently, we have learners from Kindergarten to Grade nine (9). Our student roll stands at 613 learners. We are experiencing rapid growth and we will eventually develop into a Kindergarten to Grade twelve (12) school.

We assume that you are visiting our website to gather more information about MISO before deciding on a school for your child. We are pleased that you are considering joining the MISO family. MISO is a school started by owners who believe that family and community values are at the heart of a school. Whether you are already a member of a school community, a prospective student or simply interested in finding out a little more about our school, you will soon understand why MISO is such a special school within the Muscat community.

As a school, MISO is committed to the intellectual, creative, emotional, physical and social growth of our students. We want our learners to attain their full potential and to fulfill the goals they set themselves in life. At MISO, we encourage our students to dream “BIG”. We believe that nothing is impossible and that love and respect is the basis for success in life. MISO teachers are encouraged to “Love First, Teach Second”. Our “Core Values” are embedded in the acronym: “CARES”: Citizenship, Acceptance, Respect, Exploration and Service. With already over 28 nationalities forming our teacher and student make-up, we are quickly developing into a truly international community.

MISO teachers and students respect each other as individuals and we believe that nothing is impossible. We keep sacred Islamic, Arabic and Individual beliefs. We accept being different. We encourage being unique. We acknowledge our mixed abilities. We promote diversity. We respect honesty. We strive to attain standards that are realistic. We keep each other safe. We are a family school. These attributes are what set us apart, AND align us with schools that adopt the title: ”International”.

As a start-up school, we have already made inroads with regard to being recognized as a “quality school”. Under my leadership, we will foster an attitude of constant improvement. My aim is very simple; We want to bring “balance” to the institution We are affiliated with. Balance in the sense that all the role players i.e. Owners, Teachers, Parents and Students feel that they are being heard, responded to and given the platform to contribute to the “growth” of MISO. This aim is not an easy one. In fact, some might describe it as a task almost impossible.

Vision

At MISO, we aim to develop students that are ready to be part of the global student family and who will be inspired to use their acquired skills, to improve not only their own lives, but also the lives of their fellow human beings.

Mission

Entrenched in Islamic, Arabic and Global values and practices, MISO aims to inspire, direct and simplify the education experience for its learners. Core Values combined with a well-designed curriculum will help our students attain any goal they set themselves in life. Balance between knowledge and understanding, is at the heart of the educational practice at MISO.
