the School Managing Committee.

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.
