The girls who attend Downe House Muscat will be immersed in an authentic interpretation of our ethos, excellence in teaching and learning in state-of-the-art facilities within a safe and inspirational environment. We are proud to be supported by the Oman Ministry of Defence Pension Fund and will be working closely with them to bring the plans to fruition over the coming months.
All teaching staff will have UK-recognised teaching qualifications and will teach their specialist subject in an extended day which will give more time for girls to get involved in a wide range of co-curricular activities to discover their individual interests and talents beyond the classroom, helping to build character, teamworking skills and self-confidence and so much more.
It is a very special moment for us to be opening a school in the beautiful city of Muscat and to be delivering an education which offers excellence and significant opportunity for the girls in Oman. We have built a strong and diverse global community which we feel is incredibly important as it helps our girls to value and be prepared for the rich and varied world that lies beyond Downe House and of course, Oman will be a very special part of that.
We hope to build particularly strong links to enable both our staff and our pupils in Muscat to benefit from all that a Downe House education offers. We place a great emphasis on a global outlook for all our girls and I firmly believe that this development will be of huge benefit for the whole Downe House community.
Downe House is working with award-winning architects and many of the design features reflect elements of the Downe House UK campus, with a distinct reference to our impressive Murray Centre on the UK site. Mrs Scott has been a key member of the Downe House community for twenty-three years and is currently the Deputy Headmistress. Well placed to develop the connections and align the two sister schools, Mrs Scott said,.
