Masqat, Oman May 29, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Finland Oman School is proud to announce a significant milestone in its educational journey: receiving official authorization from the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) for both the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and the Middle Years Programme (MYP) simultaneously — and on the very first application.
This dual authorization places Finland Oman School among a select group of institutions in the region that successfully combine the world-renowned Finnish educational methodology with the rigorous academic frameworks of the International Baccalaureate.

The MYP authorization further extends this vision, offering a holistic, interdisciplinary curriculum for middle school students.
"This achievement reflects the dedication of our entire school community — teachers, students, and parents — who believed in our vision from day one," said Faisal Al Awfi, Principal of Finland Oman School. "We are proud to bring world-class education that bridges Finnish excellence with IB standards to Muscat." Rahma Al Salmi, Vice Principal, added: "Our inclusive approach has always been at the heart of what we do, and this authorization is a testament to our commitment to every learner."
Finland Oman School brings together the IB curriculum and the globally acclaimed Finnish educational methodology — known for student wellbeing, creativity, and strong academic outcomes—offering families in Oman a truly unique and future-ready learning experience.
