As an international school focused on student learning, ABIS will operate normally at Ramadan, though we will take some special measures to respect and support our Omanis and host country. We will contact our Muslim families about these arrangements shortly. In general the school will run a regular schedule and timetable, though we will operate an ‘optional’ shorter day for students who are fasting. There will be no ‘public’ singing and dancing performances, though music, dance and PE classes will go on as usual in classrooms and confined (with walls) learning spaces. We ask parents to keep us informed of any special cases or issues that we need to be aware of so that we can be as culturally sensitive and supportive as possible. We hope that all children, staff and parents will be dressed respectfully when entering the school during the holy month of Ramadan.
