Cheltenham Values
Every pupil will be challenged, supported, and inspired to achieve their very best. Through Curiosity, Creativity, Character, Community, and Continuous Excellence, we prepare our pupils not just for success at school, but for a lifetime of achievement, leadership, and personal fulfilment.

Curiosity
We inspire a love of learning, encouraging pupils to question, explore, and think independently. Academic rigour is at the heart of a Cheltenham education, where curiosity drives discovery, debate, and critical thinking.

Creativity
Beyond knowledge, we nurture creative minds, helping pupils develop their talents and think innovatively. Through the arts, design, and problem-solving, they explore new ideas, express themselves, and push boundaries.

Character
Success requires resilience, integrity, and sound judgement. We instil a strong moral compass, fostering compassion and confidence so pupils are prepared to navigate life’s challenges and make a meaningful impact.

Community
A Cheltenham education instils a deep sense of belonging and responsibility. Pupils engage in service, teamwork, and global initiatives, developing empathy and a commitment to the common good.

Continuous Excellence
We believe that hard work conquers all. Our pupils embrace challenges, learn from setbacks, and strive for excellence in all they do—academically, creatively, and personally.

Yesterday, Cheltenham Muscat had the honour of hosting a panel discussion under the patronage of Her Highness Sayyida Hujaija Al Said, titled “Opportunities and Prospects for Investment in Private School Education.”
We were proud to welcome guests from the Ministry of Education, private schools, and the wider education sector. The discussion explored important ideas about the future of education in Oman, including innovation in teaching, how to prepare students for the modern world, and the value of strong partnerships in improving private education.
At Cheltenham Muscat, our five values — Curiosity, Creativity, Character, Community and Continuous Excellence, shape everything we do. This event was a great chance to reflect on these values and our role in helping young people grow into confident, capable learners, ready for the future.

🏅 Celebrating excellence on and off the field!
