Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Uniform is compulsory for all students. Kindergarten: boys wear grey long trousers with a white shirt; girls wear grey pinafore with a white shirt. From Primary upwards, boys wear white dishdasha and kummah (with trainers or sandals) and girls' uniforms transition by year group (navy blue trousers with a blue tunic dress in Primary; in later years, short navy dress for MYP1–MYP4 and a long navy dress for MYP5–Grade 12).
The cafeteria is operated in partnership with Sodexco to provide healthy, balanced meals daily. The menu rotates on a four-week cycle and is reviewed regularly; parents can opt in or out of the service and fees are adjusted accordingly; there are separate menus for Primary/Secondary and for KG.
Al Sahwa Schools use a four-house system named after Oman's iconic animals: Eagles (Yellow), Oryx (Blue), Wolves (Green), Leopards (Red). Students are assigned to a house and participate in cross-age activities, performances, and competitions that foster belonging and school spirit.
Al Sahwa Schools were established in 1993 on land donated by His Majesty Sultan Qaboos and were originally owned by the Royal Office and the Royal Oman Police Pension Funds. The school is governed by a Board of Trustees that includes representatives from the Royal Office, Royal Oman Police, and the Ministry of Education, reflecting government involvement.
