Mission

 The KGIS educational mission is to ensure that every child reaches their full academic and personal potential.  This is achieved through developing socially aware and ambitious lifelong independent learners. 

About the school

KGIS provides an education to Omani students making up around 70% and students of 40 other nationalities representing all the world’s continents. The school is in its 4th year of operation and has roughly 500 students from 3 to 19. Our teachers also represent a range of nations including The Sultanate of Oman, Great Britain, Egypt, Ireland, Iraq, South Africa, Lebanon, Canada, Jordan, India, Venezuela, The Philippines and Mexico. This eclectic range of nationalities ensures that the identity of KGIS is truly international infusing, into the daily life at the school, positive influences from all over the world.

Kindergarten and Primary students learn using English /Arabic joint language instruction, combining an engaging programme of play and hands-on experiences that nurture within each student the skills to learn by enquiry. The curriculum for both is designed using the National Curriculum of England.

In Secondary, the National Curriculum of England is followed for Key Stage 3 (Grades 6 – 8) whilst Grades 9 & 10 students study according to the curriculums prescribed by the Edexcel Exam Board for IGCSE culminating in externally set exams at the end of grade 10. For our Grade 11 & 12 students, we provide the opportunity to either follow the Edexcel GCE syllabuses for AS followed by a graduation to A2 in grade 12; or the Omani Bilingual GED (General Education Diploma) which is formally examined at the end of Grade 12.

Our facilities include 5 science laboratories, swimming pool, canteen, Library/electronic information centre, ICT rooms, ‘zero’ & ‘thin’ client workstations in all classrooms and interactive white boards in all classrooms.

KGIS is committed and dedicated to providing an excellent teaching and learning environment where students learn and understand what it means to be responsible, productive, and ethical citizens. The school strives to create an educational climate where students acquire the essential and necessary knowledge, understanding, and skills to reason critically, communicate effectively, learn continuously and think creatively when solving problems and making decisions.
