Ellesmere Muscat Launched

In 2023, AIS entered into a groundbreaking education partnership with the esteemed Ellesmere College, UK. This strategic alliance reflects a shared commitment to provide students with a distinct advantage in their educational journey.

Welcome from the principal

At Ellesmere Muscat, we believe that school life is not merely a preparation for the future; rather, it is a series of invaluable moments, each day brimming with the promise of excitement and anticipation. At the heart of our educational philosophy is the understanding that every child is unique, and their needs evolve with growth. 

Our commitment is not just to educate, but to know, inspire, care for, challenge and collaborate with each student and family – a purposeful and creative approach that respects individual needs. The safety and well-being of our students in our care are paramount. We firmly believe that safeguarding is a shared responsibility, and we expect everyone in our community to prioritize this commitment. 

I extend a warm invitation to you to visit our school campus. Only through firsthand experience can one fully appreciate the exceptional value of what we offer. I eagerly look forward to welcoming you to our vibrant and nurturing school environment.
