Our leadership, our advisory board, and the edge that makes an American Lyceum education different — in Muscat and across the Lyceum Group.

About us

An international education, rooted in care.

Operating in Azaiba under the supervision of the Ministry of Education, Oman, American Lyceum Muscat brings a rigorous Cambridge foundation together with engaging teaching and a deep commitment to every child’s wellbeing.

  • Respect
  • Responsibility
  • Trust
Our vision

Trust, Pride and Performance.

“By cultivating the crop of enlightened leaders become the name of Trust, Pride and Performance.”

Our core values

Five values, lived every day.

Excellence

Academic: new heights of excellence are to be attained. Personal: every person is to be at their best. Facilities: excellent facilities are to be provided to learners.

Integrity

Personal: we do whatever we commit to. Professional: professional integrity is our most important and valued asset.

Respect

Everyone is expected to be respectful regardless of their rank and grade. Nobody, on whichever level of the hierarchy, is to be humiliated. Students must be respected by staff and faculty, faculty by students and parents, and parents by students and faculty.

Responsibility

We want proactive personalities. Students must be responsible for whatever they are getting, teachers for the results of the students, and parents for the grooming of the children.

What we stand on

Safety, responsibility and unity.

Three commitments that shape daily life at American Lyceum.

Safety First

Child abuse prevention training, secure campuses and attentive supervision, every day.

Shared Responsibility

We want proactive personalities: students responsible for their learning, staff for their craft.

Unity & Global Mindedness

We value unity between school, family and community, and celebrate our differences and our likenesses.
