Oman Resident Cards
An Oman Resident Card is not required to apply to BSM, however, if your application is successful, you will need to submit copies of a valid Oman Resident Card for the applicant and their parents to our Admissions Department prior to starting at school. This is a requirement from Oman’s Ministry of Education. In exceptional circumstances BSM may be able to grant families an extra month from their start date to provide a copy of the Resident Cards to school.
British School Muscat reserves the right to withdraw the offer of a place if the applicant or their parents are not in possession of an Oman Resident Card prior to starting at British School Muscat.
After we receive your
Application
When we receive your application, we assess if a space is available for your preferred start date. If no space is available, we will place your child on our waiting list. We will notify you by email of the status of your application within 5 working days.
Once a space is available for your child, you will be asked to pay a reservation fee to hold the space. This fee is deducted from the first term fees upon admission.
Your child will be assessed to ensure they meet our entry criteria. Please refer to our Entry Requirements Criteria for further details. All children admitted to BSM must be fluent in English at an age appropriate level.

Our teaching is based on the English National Curriculum and all lessons are taught in English.
We have limited resources to support children with English as an additional language or special education needs. We will only offer places when we are sure we are able to provide sufficient support to enable a child to fully access the curriculum.
