The school was founded in 2002 and in its first year of operation the on-roll numbers were a modest population of only 50 students now nearing 700+ students. However, these are exciting times as we continue to grow and emerge as the thriving leading provider of education in the region. Our new state of the art building has a capacity of up to 1200 students.

The school is located outside the boundaries of Hay Al Sharooq (HAS), the current housing complex for OLNG (Oman LNG) staff. The HAS complex was built in 2002 and contains 130 purpose-built villas with a large recreation club with two swimming pools, a multipurpose sports hall, a park, a small commercial Centre, clinic, mosque, a dedicated training center for OLNG employees and several maintained offices. The complex is located between the OLNG Qalhat plant and the city of Sur, a 15 minutes’ drive from the town center. The City of Sur is 93 miles (150KM) southeast of Muscat, the Omani capital connected via modern highway with picturesque sceneries. OLNG provides a free bus service to all students residing in HAS and Sur vicinity.

The city of Sur is one of the ancient Omani cities. It is a city that has played a prominent and distinguished role in maritime commercial activity across the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea and the Sea of Oman, forming a business and cultural bridge between the Arabian Peninsula, India, South East Asia, and Africa. Sur Port is amongst the oldest ports, where traditional sailing vessels are still built today. It is the most easterly city in Arabia and the first one to witness the sunrise in this part of the world. This wilaya has a number of famous ancient monuments, including Bilad Sur Castle, As Sinaysilah Castle, Al `Ayjah Castle, Fanar Ras Al Meel and Ras Al Hadd Castle. It also has a number of valleys, the most prominent being Wadi Shab and Wadi Tiwi, in addition to Ras Al Hadd where the Turtle Sanctuary at Ras Al Jinz lies. There are rapidly developing modern amenities which will satisfy all of your needs and in addition to this, the cost of living in comparison to Muscat is far more reasonable. Famous for cuisine there are many amazing restaurants where local dishes and stunning fresh seafood are served. All of this whilst enjoying an outdoor experience and the atmosphere of warm Arabian evenings. Shopping is another area where there has been rapid recent development. Recently a huge modern shopping mall and other supermarkets have opened with every need accounted for.

It is our aim to provide a work environment for our staff and students, which is constantly evolving for the better, embracing all diversities and molding into an organization that celebrates quality, creativity, and passion.

As a medium-sized and growing school, we seek to provide a holistic approach to teaching that recognises the importance of social as well as academic achievement. Our 700+ pupils represent children from different cultures and nationalities, a resource we celebrate and draw on in our learning and school events.

Our in-school programmes follow International standard Curriculum guidelines and benchmarks for England and Wales within an international context.

About the School:

Hay Al-Sharooq International School is an independent educational LLC, fully owned by Oman Development Foundation (ODF). HASIS was founded in 2002 in a small facility in the OLNG compound to provide an education to the young children of locals and expatriates working for OLNG. At this location, the School grew from just fifty to over seven hundred children and in time provided an education for girls and boys from the ages of three to seventeen. In the last few years, it became clear the School required a new, modern facility to take it to the next level, and HASIS opened in its new home external to the OLNG compound in September 2018.
