Information about the school
PDO School is a learning-focused school. We talk about what the children are learning
instead of what they are doing.
We try to ensure that all our children are provided with certain conditions which help them
learn better so they start to become aware of their learning and begin to make some
connections in the learning journey.
PDO School is situated in a prime position right the heart of the Petroleum Development
Oman residential area, which lies on the coast in Muscat.
Children start in the Pre-Nursery in the term in which they turn 3 years old. The Pre-Nursery
building is on site and close to, but detached from, the main school building. It comprises 3
large classrooms and two additional smaller rooms. There is also the Pre-Nursery
playground which is fully enclosed. There is a qualified teacher for each class and a full time
assistant in each and the Pre-Nursery forms part of the Early Years Department (Primary 1 –
Primary 2); there is a close liaison among this group of teachers. When children move to the
Nursery, in the term in which they become four, they move into the main building.
Throughout the school, the company provides excellent air-conditioned accommodation
comprising classrooms, a music room, an art and craft room, a cookery room, TV rooms, a
well-stocked library (containing Dutch and English books), an IT suite, a large gymnasium
and offices, all of which are well maintained.
Outside there is an enclosed and shaded infant play garden area, a large playing field and
three large playgrounds for different age-groups, equipped with various climbing and play
apparatus.
The PDO Recreation Centre, including pool, beach and tennis courts, is just a few minutes
walk away. All the children (from Nursery to Primary 8) have school swimming lessons at the
pool each week. There are lots of other activities going on throughout the year which include
swimming galas and other sporting events early in the year when the weather is at its most
pleasant, as well as events with other schools, concerts, assembly performances, fun days,
themed events and festival celebrations for everyone to enjoy.
