Re: Al Shomoukh International school- OMAN
Out of curiosity I did a quick search and found their homepage http://www.alshomoukh.com/ It's opening K-9 this fall. Can't figure out where it's located.

Third tier, with local private ownership and governance, local management with a few western members in leadership (who will have a director who will be a local above them). Student body will mostly be host nationals, as western students will prefer more established and proven options. New schools have a breaking in period, before the programs and policies they have are successfully implemented and have had time to develop a successful reputation. Its going to likely have a lot of problems, the feel I get is there going to be particularly hard on staff, things like extensive probation period, are rarely beneficial to experienced teachers. They have a lot of talk and ideas and conceptualization. Seeking to add PYP and IB for example is an idea, its not an assurance or even indication that such things will happen.

I have no idea where this school is located, however I did work for a time at the Sultan's School. It was advertised as being located in Muscat, which technically it was, however it was 25km from Muscat City and taxis there are quite expensive. The area is known as Seeb and there were several International and private schools there, so there is a chance that this school might be around there too. Very handy for the airport, but not much else.
