GENERAL INFORMATION

Indian School Sohar was founded in 1982 and is managed by the
association members of the Banyan Merchant Community
through a committee called the School Managing Committee.

The school is an English medium, co-educational, KG – XII
institution, affiliated with Central Board of Secondary Education,
India and approved by the Ministry of Education, Sultanate of
Oman. The school is intended primarily for the students of Indian
nationality and Indian origin.

SCHOOL MOTTO

‘Tamaso ma Jyotirgamaya’
Tamaso ma Jyotirgamaya - means
“Lead me from darkness to light.”
When we refer to darkness and light, we mean
ignorance and knowledge, respectively.
This is so because ignorance, like darkness,
obscures true understanding.
The only remedy for darkness is light,
just as the only remedy for ignorance is knowledge
of one’s true nature.

MISSION

Our mission is to provide modern education yet retain the traditional
Indian essence.

VISION

Indian School Sohar aims to be an institution of excellence, in
academics, and in the holistic development and character building
of the children, catering to students with varied aptitude and
potential-transforming them into real achievers.
