Finland Oman School

Finland Oman School is located in Halban, along the Muscat Southern Expressway in Oman. The campus sits on the southern side of Muscat and is accessible via the principal expressway network serving Halban. The area is a developing part of Muscat with nearby university and residential zones, making it reasonably reachable from central and southern parts of the city.

The school offers pre-school (KG1 and KG2), primary education (Grades 1–6), and secondary education (Grades 7–12). The curriculum for secondary is delivered within the IB MYP framework and taught in English, with Arabic used for specific subjects. English-language instruction is used across core subjects, with bilingual elements in the primary years as well.

Finland Oman School is a co-educational, private international school. It operates as a day school rather than a boarding facility; the school day and activities are structured for full-time students without on-site boarding.

The school provides inclusive education with access to occupational therapy, special education, and speech therapy services. English proficiency is assessed during admissions, and language support programmes are defined in individual education plans as needed.

The school is part of the MAJD Educational Group and is affiliated with the German University of Technology in Oman (GUtech). Finnish pedagogy informs the program, but there is no formal national affiliation claimed by the school.

There is no formal religious affiliation stated. The curriculum includes Islamic Studies as a subject within the Arabic-language strands when relevant to the regional curriculum.

The school day runs from 7:30 AM to 2:30 PM, Sunday to Thursday.

The school offers a bus service with multiple routes and a two-way or one-way fare structure. Routes include Mabeelah, Al Hail, Barka, Al Khoudh, Mawaleh, Al Athaiba & Al Ghubra & The Wave, Al Ansab & Bawshar, Al Khuwair, Qurum & MS Qaboos, and Al Rumais. Fees are listed per route (e.g., Mabeelah two-way 520 OMR; one-way 364 OMR; and other routes with varying two-way/one-way costs). Bus service arrangements are documented in the admissions/transport sections.
