SCHOOL MOTTO

‘ Tamaso ma Jyotirgamaya’ Tamaso
ma Jyotirgamaya - means “Lead
me from darkness to light.”
When we refer to darkness and light, we mean
ignorance and knowledge, respectively.

This is so because ignorance, like darkness,
obscures true understanding.

The only remedy for darkness is light,
just as the only remedy for ignorance is knowledge.
The knowledge spoken of here is again the knowledge
of one’s true nature.

MISSION

Our mission is to provide modern education yet retaining the traditional Indian
essence.

VISION

Indian School Sohar aims to be an institution of excellence, in academics,
and in the holistic development and character building of the children,
catering to students with varied aptitude and potential-transforming them
into real achievers.
