HISTORY
OF THE SCHOOL
Shri.Kanaksi
Gokaldas Khimji |
Indian
School Muscat, since its inception has grown
steadily with a purpose. From humble beginnings in
the year 1975 with 135 children the school today
is the largest co-educational institution in the
Gulf with over 7610 students.
The Indian School Muscat expresses a deep sense of
gratitude to His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Said,
the benevolent ruler of the Sultanate of Oman. It
was His Majesty's magnanimous grant of land in
Darsait that enabled the school to be established.
It
was the vision of our first patron, His Excellency
the late Nirmaljit Singh, the Ambassador of India,
the dedication of Mr. Kanaksi Gokaldas Khimji, the
first President of the Management Committee that
made ISM a living, breathing reality. |
Indian School Muscat is more than a premier
educational institution. It is a community
linchpin, one that bears a special bond with the
cross section of people. ISM is the flagship
of all the Indian Schools in Oman. It has played a
significant role in nurturing other schools during
their early stages of development. It continues to
provide administrative and academic support for
all Indian Schools in Oman.
The Patron of ISM, the Ambassador of India, the
Board of Directors, the Management Committee, the
Principal and a well-qualified staff are
instrumental in offering the community a host of
services that are essential for all-round
education.

SCHOOL
EMBLEM
In the centre of the shield of the Indian School
emblem is an open book symbolizing knowledge with
a burning lamp, the flame of which radiates light,
indicating dissemination of knowledge. The motto,
'KINDLED TO ENLIGHTEN' dispels the darkness
of ignorance. The flame of knowledge also spreads
humane qualities of tolerance and honesty among
the people. This would enable us to make a
valuable contribution to the new world order.
Thus, ISM develops upright citizens with high
ideals, fully equipped to take their rightful
place in society.
