(MENAFNEditorial) With links to an approximately 460 year tradition with Repton UK, the Repton brand aims to provide the best teaching and learning environment in which pupils achieve the very best academically, physically and socially. With three campuses already in the UAE, comprising of Repton School and Foremarke School in Dubai and Repton School in Abu Dhabi, a new Repton School is now set to open in Muscat, Oman.
The plans were announced by Evolvence Knowledge AlKhonji ("EKAK") which is a partnership between Evolvence Knowledge Investments Limited ("EKI"), the education platform of the Evolvence Group, based in Dubai, UAE and AlKhonji Education ("AKE") which is the education subsidiary of AlKhonji Group ("AKG"), based in Muscat, Oman. The partnership was formed to administer a growing portfolio of schools and nurseries in Oman – this portfolio will include the planned Repton School in Muscat as well as a Dovecote Nursery in Muscat.
"We are delighted to be developing Repton School in Muscat. Our aim is to bring the highest quality UK curriculum to Oman and to make Repton School in Muscat one of the very best schools in the Middle East," commented Khaled Almheiri, Chairman of EKI and Group CEO for Evolvence Group.
"The development of Repton School in Muscat will bring premium UK education standards to our city and deliver excellence for our children," commented Ahmed AlKhonji, Managing Director of AlKhonji Group.
Benjamin Lee, President and CEO of EKI, said "We intend to open Repton School in Muscat in September 2017. To develop any school from the start will take at least 18 months to two years – planning, curriculum, design and development. So now it's all about getting it up and running."
Repton School in Dubai received an 'Outstanding' rating in the recent KHDA inspections. Its pupils are known to excel academically and yield impressive results. Last year pupils progressed from Repton School in Dubai to some of the world's top universities including Oxford and UCLA.
"The Governors and staff of Repton School in the UK are looking forward to welcoming Repton School in Muscat to our family of schools. Through the close partnership with Repton in the UK we will build an outstanding school for the families in Muscat," commented Robert Owen, Chairman of Repton International.
Repton School in Dubai also ranks among the world's best in a range of sports and extra-curricular activities including fencing and polo as well as high achievements in rugby, netball and athletics. This is clearly reflected in the international achievements of its pupils. This year a senior Reptonian made history as the first female to swim under the UAE banner and has also qualified for the 2016 Olympics.
