Al Zawiya Private School
New Salalah, Sultanate of Oman
About the School
Al Zawiya Private School is a co-educational institution located in New Salalah, Sultanate of Oman, committed to providing quality education in a nurturing, inclusive and internationally oriented learning environment.
The school was established in 2024 by the Indian Cultural Foundation (ICF), Al Zawiya Group, and initially offering education from Kindergarten to Grade IV.
In its early stage, the school was guided by an Education Council led by Abdul Shukoor as President and Mr. Sajid as Education Secretary. As the institution evolved, the school underwent a significant restructuring and was transformed into a trust dedicated to revitalising, developing and professionally managing its operations.
Following the restructuring, Mr. Abdul Shukoor has been assigned the role of Chairman, while Mr.Sajid became the Managing Director. Their leadership provided a new direction for the institution, with a strong focus on academic development, organisational strengthening and sustainable growth.
A Journey of Growth.
The transformation brought significant progress to the school.
From an initial strength of approximately 70 students, Al Zawiya Private School has grown to around 250 students, expanding its academic provision from KG1 through Grade VIII.
This growth reflects the school’s commitment to building a stronger academic culture, improving systems and processes, and creating an environment where students can learn, develop and thrive.
As part of this academic transformation, Muhammed Mr. Dilshad, who has extensive experience in managing educational institutions and academic systems across India and Dubai, took charge as Academic Director. His role focuses on strengthening academic standards, curriculum implementation, teacher development, assessment systems and the overall quality of teaching and learning.
School Leadership.
The institution is headed by Principal Mr. Selvin Subash, an education professional with 14 years of academic and administrative experience across different countries.
Hailing from Tamil Nadu, India, Mr. Selvin holds an M.A. and B.Ed. and brings experience in school administration, academic leadership and institutional development. He is also an approved Cambridge examination officer under the Ministry of Education, Sultanate of Oman.
Supporting the school leadership is Assistant Principal Mrs. Jalilia Rabeea, an Omani education professional with more than three decades of experience under the Ministry of Education.
