The National Curriculum for England is enhanced by a diverse enrichment programme that inspires our students to develop their passions and explore and discover Oman’s beautiful mountains, wadis, deserts and coast. Students are taught in small classes by excellent and enthusiastic teachers. Students are supported to develop their leadership skills and encouraged to become active global citizens.

This is a unique opportunity to join our warm and friendly team and lead a growing not for profit British international school in a beautiful corner of Arabia. British School Salalah (BSS) is an expanding and delightful school on the shores of the Arabian Sea.  It was founded in 1970 based in a small hut on the beach. It moved to a villa in Salalah town in 1977 and then on to its present site in 1980.  BSS is the only British National Curriculum school in Salalah and is a member of the British Schools in the Middle East (BSME). It has recently been recognised as a COBIS Member and is looking to achieve COBIS Accreditation this academic year.

The Dhofar region is experiencing a period of unprecedented economic growth and investment, particularly in the tourist sector. Within this context, as the leading provider of British international education in the region, BSS has substantial potential for further growth, development and innovation and looks forward to expanding with a new Senior school building on the horizon for 2024.

We hope you will be interested in joining our team.
