The US Embassy officials approached the Omani government and presented this idea, which was approved by the then-incumbent monarch of Oman, His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said, who prioritized education as part of the development of the country.

The ruling monarch then donated a huge parcel of land in the Ghala district where they can build a permanent campus.

Six months after the entry of the new millennium, Kevin Schafer joined TAISM as the new director, and the school moved to the current campus in August 2000.

These included newer elementary classrooms, music rooms, science labs, art studios, an expanded library, and the Early Childhood Center.

The Sur Library, O’Shaughnessy Gallery, Blue Gym, and the Student Center/Cafeteria, were also renovated by this point.
