Muscat is home to many great schools following the British Curriculum. Royal Flight Intl School is unfortunately not one of them. While some of the staff are considerate, others are quite rude. The school is not providing any unique experience to students that other international schools are not so I am not sure why they are so high up on their horse. If you have two children you have to put both in the school otherwise they won't just enroll one of them. They conduct anxiety inducing formal assessments on children as young as 5, despite a whole lot of research findings against them. They are known to not align their practices with the local customs and there have even been instances where they recommended that a child get major surgery done so he could pronounce the words in a more British accent. If after after reading all this you still choose RF for your children, go for it, but know that you hard-earned money will be reinforcing their bad behavior and smugness.

With a corridor that size people need to communicate by semaphore. But with a clear vision and a staff who had the morale, support & team spirit to comm... read full review
