Location

The old school building is currently situated opposite UNESCO World Heritage Site Al-Baleed Archaeological Park, Al-Haffa region, Salalah, Dhofar Governorate.

The construction of Salalah International School’s new digital, sustainable school is moving along with construction at Saadha, Salalah, Dhofar Governorate.

The new school will feature green technology with cloud computing capability throughout all buildings and classrooms, passive and active solar concepts and appropriate cultural design elements for the kindergarten through tenth grade school.

The new school became necessary to be able to offer Salalah International School’s students the highest and latest offerings in new technological and green building advances to keep pace with current outside educational building and school research standards. The old school building was originally built in the 1990s and was not able to provide the electrical wiring or energy for current student needs to use computers or cloud research on portable devices.
