Admissions

Admissions 1. From the beginning of March each year, the new student visits the Admissions and Registration Department to obtain a No Objection to Registration form (QF 01-07) and takes it with him to the Admissions Examinations Committee and Interviews Committee to certify the exam and interview results, with those results signed by the authorized committees before returning the form to the Registration Department to begin the registration process. 2. The new student sits for an admission exam and a personal interview according to the procedure described in Supervisory Department Form No. 7. After approval of the admission, the student and the parent review the Registration Department, bringing the No Objection to Registration. 3. The student then completes the admission steps: a school tour and interview with the principal, a review of the admission and registration and obtaining the No Objection form, a review by the supervision section for evaluation and examination and to fix the interview result, and then returning to the Admissions and Registration to complete the required papers and pay the fees. 4. After that, the student proceeds to the Supplies Department to receive the uniform and books. 5. Documents required include: for the Playgroup, Nursery, Pre-K and Grade 1 group — three passport photos, a certified birth certificate, a family book copy, and the original immunization card; for Grades 2 through 12 — a student file containing all required papers; for students coming from outside the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan — documents must be certified by the originating country (Ministry of Education in that country, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Jordanian Embassy) and then authenticated in Jordan by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Examinations and Tests, or the Directorate of Private Education (the school can complete authentication on behalf of the student). 6. Old students (those renewing) are not automatically registered and must reserve a seat by paying the registration fee; otherwise they have the same registration priority as new students subject to seat availability. 7. General notes include: a school bus system that starts early in the morning; transport to additional zones only with prior coordination; and the right to adjust bus fees if fuel prices rise. 8. The school requires that students and families follow the student code of conduct as part of the registration agreement and, for students in certain stages, that the student signs the conduct code themselves. Bus and uniform procedures, and the sequence of steps for completing the registration are detailed in the admission procedures and related sections. (Source material: Admissions page and subpages.) | Admissions 1. The Jubilee School (Jubilee Institute) uses a clearly defined, three-stage admissions path designed for academically strong applicants. First, nominations open in December each year; applications must be submitted electronically by an applicant who is in grade 8 and is either Jordanian or has a valid residency. Applicants must demonstrate academic excellence and meet the school's multi-criteria standards, which include high averages from the last three semesters, performance on the Jubilee Scholastic Aptitude Test (JSAT), an Evaluation of Potential Creativity (EPoC), Creative Writing, an English test for 10th grade if applicable, and a personal interview. After submitting the application, families receive instructions by email on how to proceed with the initial application fees so the candidate can advance to testing. 2. Testing is conducted on dates announced by the school. Testing consists of the Jubilee Scholastic Aptitude Test (JSAT) with 100 questions over about 135 minutes, covering verbal, mathematical and logical sections; the EPoC assessment to gauge creative potential; and an Expressive Writing task (a 150-word paragraph, in Arabic or English). The English 10th-grade language requirement may apply for the national program, and the assessment package concludes with a personal statement and a structured interview. Dates for tests are published on the school's platforms and through the Ministry of Education. 3. The personal interview lasts about 20–30 minutes and is conducted by a committee of teachers and educators. It serves to identify behavioral traits, leadership aspirations, and alignment with the school's program and values. During the interview, applicants learn more about Jubilee School life and have an opportunity to ask questions about programs and campus life. If the candidate meets the admission criteria and performs well in testing and interview, the school proceeds to the next steps. 4. Formal registration follows a successful admission decision. The student is officially registered after fees are paid and the academic file is submitted to the Admission Department. All admitted students must attend a three-week Summer School to prepare for school life and the program; transfer procedures and Summer School dates are communicated via the school's Edunation platform after fee payment and registration completion. If guardians fail to pay by the specified dates, the seat and any scholarship offered may be forfeited. In addition to the core admission steps, there is a boarding option on campus with two gender-segregated dormitories, with supervision and furnished rooms; there is also a preparatory Summer School and a boarding service for provincial students. These components may be relevant to families considering the overall transition process and housing needs. |

Cash payments for tuition and transportation by specific dates qualify for progressive discounts: 5% off if paid in full for tuition and transportation by 30-04-2026; 4% off by 30-06-2026; 3% off by 31-08-2026; 2% off by 31-10-2026. Sibling discounts apply as follows: the fourth child receives 20%, the third 15%, the second 10%; the seventh child or more receives 70%, the sixth 40%, and the fifth 25%. Academic excellence scholarships are awarded in the Basic Education phase: the top student on a class in 6th and 7th grades receives 15%, the top on the grade average receives 25%; for 8th grade the top student across the grade receives 25% and the top in the grade average receives 50%; for 9th and 10th grades the table indicates to apply based on ranking, with additional notes. Cash prizes are awarded for top performers in school activities at the national or directorate level (e.g., 100–200 Jordanian dinars for the top three places). There are separate scholarships and discounts for non-Arabic speakers and for supportive education programs (e.g., 500 JD annually for supportive education, and 500 JD for non-Arabic speakers; 25 JD for diagnostic testing for supportive education and 25 JD per semester for final tests for non-Arabic speakers). The school also provides a cancer care relief program in cooperation with a partner foundation (significant details include potential sponsorship through the Hussein Cancer Center and related terms). A cancer care sponsorship program for eligible families may involve signing an agreement with a sponsor to cover cancer treatment costs while maintaining continued schooling. Parked notes cover where the discounts apply (tuition only, not transportation, except for cash payments) and conditions for applying, along with rules for merit-based and activity-based awards. Program extras include additional services and supports as listed (e.g., annual program fees for supportive services). In addition, there are details about the return conditions, withdrawal policies, and a timetable for payments and transportation charges. (Source material: Admissions/Fees/Discounts/Scholarships sections.) | Scholarships The Jubilee School offers full or partial scholarships to a number of students in the national program who meet the admission requirements. The value of the scholarship depends on the family's gross income and covers school fees and internal housing for students from the north and south governorates and from outside the Kingdom; it does not cover books, school uniforms, or transportation. Continuation of the scholarship depends on maintaining a specified academic average. Parents may apply for financial aid after the admissions testing results are announced. The scholarship program is described as part of the national program, with details about eligibility and coverage provided in the admission and tuition materials. |
