Pakistan School Muscat

Pakistan School Muscat (PSM) is a state of Art school in the Sultanate of Oman. It was founded in a rented flat in Muscat, as a result of a decision made in the first meeting of Pakistani Culture Centre. Efforts, spearheaded by Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Shafi, were made to collect funds and as a result the school was shifted to its spacious campus in January 1981. His Majesty Sultan Qaboos granted land in Darsait that enabled the school to be established. Since then, the school has seen exceptional growth, both in terms of enrolment and size.
