Directors's Welcome Message
I am delighted to welcome you to Azaiba Private School, Muscat-Oman for the academic year 2023-24.
Our school is well-respected and established, with over 530 students on roll, meeting the needs of the local Omani and diverse international communities. Azaiba Private School is on a very exciting journey and was recognised as being a ‘very good’ school, in our most recent inspection Report, from the Muscat Department of Education and Knowledge (MDEK).
At APS we believe in developing the whole child, with a focus on academic excellence and personal development and wellbeing. We offer our students opportunities that provide them with a significant advantage when seeking places at higher learning, and for the past few years, 100% of our graduating students have been doing very well in their higher learning, both locally and internationally.
The school empowers its teachers to fulfil their roles successfully as well as providing outstanding, cutting-edge professional development. APS enjoys the benefits of dynamic, experienced leadership, excellent modern facilities, a vibrant learning community, dedicated teachers, and supportive governance.
Our most important asset however is our wonderful students who make us proud every day. For nearly all of the children studying at our school Arabic is their mother tongue, yet their command of spoken and written English is beyond the expected standard for a school situated in the Middle East. Our students are actively involved in their learning and development and make important connections between new learning and what they already know. Their independence shows itself, particularly in the ways they use technology. Students demonstrate success in applying their skills to problems reflecting real-life situations, both familiar and unfamiliar. They make connections between their learning in the different parts of the curriculum. They are successful, confident, responsible learners and a credit to both themselves and their families.
Throughout this academic year, we will seek to further develop our school, on our continued journey from strength to strength, to provide the best possible educational experiences to our community. I look forward to meeting, collaborating with, and learning from you all.
Welcome to the Azaiba Family!
