Welcome from the School Director

Dear Ruwad Muscat International School Community,

My name is Dr Terry Storer and I have the privilege to serve as Director of Ruwad Muscat International School. As an IB Continuum School, from the Primary Years Programme (PYP) through to IB Diploma or GED studies in grades 11 and 12, we are defined by a singular, powerful belief: that education is not something done to a student, but a journey driven by them. We do not just teach for the classroom; we prepare for the world. By creating empowered learners who own their education through inquiry, we naturally forge the confident leaders Oman and the global community need tomorrow.

A Student-Centred Learning Environment

At Ruwad Muscat, classrooms are dynamic hubs of Inquiry-Based Learning, where teachers act as facilitators rather than lecturers. By placing students at the centre, we:

• Encourage Agency : We empower learners to make choices, take risks, and pursue their passions.
• Foster Critical Thinking : Students move beyond rote memorisation to analyse, evaluate, and solve complex, real-world problems.
• Personalise Growth : We recognise that every child learns at a different pace, ensuring that each student feels both supported and challenged.

As an IB Continuum School, empowerment is built into our curriculum. From Primary Years to the Diploma Programme, we cultivate the critical thinking and self-assurance that transforms curious students into impactful leaders.

Cultivating Global Citizens

In an increasingly interconnected world, our mission extends far beyond academic excellence. We are dedicated to developing Global Citizens who act with empathy and intercultural understanding. Through the lens of International-Mindedness, our students learn to:

• Value Diversity: We celebrate the diverse perspectives as a bridge to understanding the world.
• Take Principled Action: Our curriculum inspires students to take action and create a more peaceful and sustainable planet.
• Communicate Across Borders: Through language acquisition and collaborative projects, we prepare them to thrive in a globalised society.

Our goal is to graduate young people who are not just prepared for university, but are prepared for life — equipped with the resilience and compassion needed to lead in the 21st century.

“I look forward to welcoming you to Ruwad Muscat and working alongside you as we support your children in becoming the future leaders Oman and our world needs.”
