International Schools in Salalah, Oman

Salalah’s international-school scene is small compared with Muscat but offers a stable mix of British/Cambridge schools and an established CBSE (Indian) school, plus a few bilingual providers that combine Cambridge programmes with required Omani national subjects. English is normally the medium for core academic subjects while Arabic language (and Islamic Education for Muslim pupils) is taught alongside international syllabuses as required by Oman’s Ministry of Education. Annual tuition varies widely by model and age - published fees for British-style schools in Salalah typically run from low-thousands of OMR for younger years up to around OMR 4 - 4.7k for sixth form, while CBSE provision is substantially cheaper (several hundred OMR a year); expect additional one-off registration, exam, uniform and transport costs. Schools commonly run a British-style three-term calendar or the national two-semester pattern, use entrance assessments and place, testing and seat-confirmation windows in the months before the new academic year, so families should contact schools early to check vacancies and assessment requirements.
