The American British Academy (later renamed ABA - An IB World School, or simply ABA), established in September 1987, is a private, non-profit, co-educational international school in Muscat, Oman. It offers a K-12 English-language curriculum to expatriate students.

Overview

Curriculum

The ABA is fully accredited by both the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and the European Council of International Schools. The ABA is also an "IB World School", authorized to offer the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program (grades 1-5), the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program (grades 6-10), and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (grades 11-12).

Throughout the four years of high school (Grades 9-12), all students at ABA work towards the ABA Diploma, a US high school diploma that certifies successful completion of at least 25 credits of university-preparatory coursework. In addition, standard coursework in Grades 9 and 10 prepares students for optional examinations in the International General Certificate of Secondary Education system (www.cie.org.uk). In Grades 11 and 12, all courses follow the syllabi of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program with the option of pursuing the IB Diploma (www.ibo.org).
