💖Indian School Sohar, Oman💖
Indian School Sohar is an English school for all Indian students in Al Hambar, Sohar, Oman.
My school takes classes for students from KG to Class 12.
My school was found in 1982. The school was found to educate Indian children in & around Sohar.
The first principal was Asha Sakrani.
There were 8 students initially. The school was in a single room, with Asha Sakrani as the only teacher and the principal. Students sat on mats, and the only furniture available was a table and chair.
As sudents & faculty increased, Subramanian became principal in 1992 and the school later moved near the area Souq.
My school motto is "From darkness to light", in Sanskrit - तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय (Tamso Ma Jyotirgamaya).
The logo has a lamp in the center flanked by a pair of swans and an open book
Meaning "Lead me from darkness to light." Reference to darkness and light means ignorance and knowledge, respectively. This is so because ignorance, like darkness, obscures true understanding.
In the same way that the only remedy for darkness is light, the only remedy for ignorance is knowledge
My school has three computer labs, two mathematics labs, Two Art & crafts rooms, three libraries, and music rooms.
All our classes have smart boards which is used by our teachers to teach us interactively. The buildings are spacious and has air conditioning, even in corridors.
