OurPlanet is looking for homeroom teachers who can implement the PYP curriculum to our students who are 50% Omani and 50% from approximately 35 countries. Our school is around 300 students in grades early years through PYOP6, and our staff come from all over the world as well, with all our homeroom teachers being ex-pat.
It is preferred that candidates have experience of producing Unit Plans and will understand the continuum of learning skills directed by Scope and Sequence. PYP experience is not necessary but preferred. However, an understanding of inquiry based learning, with projects and using the curiosity of the students, and making lessons student centred instead if teacher-led, is our goal.
OurPlanet is a community environment, with teachers all working together, collaboration being important, and the school has a small community-school feel to it. Teachers enjoy teaching at OurPlanet, our students enjoy being here, and our parents support the school and enjoy the atmosphere here.
So many things make OurPlanet International School Muscat unique.
Commitment to sustainability. Our World Topic of Sustainability drives academic inquiry and campus life, influencing how we approach subjects, how we manage our resources and how we explore the environment around us. Our students learn to become stewards of the planet, and to respect and cherish the world around us.
Multicultural environment. We enrol a mix of Omani and international students from around the globe, embracing the cultural and language traditions that enrich our learning environment and our lives.
Emphasis on multilingualism. We believe multilingualism enhances academic performance and fosters appreciation for people of other cultures. Our students learn in English and are supported to pursue additional language studies.
Project-based learning approach. Rather than “teaching to the test,” our educators guide students in collaborative learning projects that connect their academic inquiry to the real world and build critical thinking, communication and planning skills.
Exceptional academics. OurPlanet Muscat follows the International Baccalaureate curriculum, adapting this internationally recognised educational programme to the unique perspective of Oman and our focus on Sustainability. Your child will receive a world-class education at OurPlanet Muscat.
Supportive, caring teachers. Our educators are highly qualified, experienced and dedicated to providing students with one-to-one attention, personalised instruction and the encouragement that fosters a lifelong love of learning.
