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.	Admissions 1. Schedule a visit to ISC-Amman. The school strongly recommends booking an appointment to visit the campus, meet with staff, and see the school in action. This helps families understand the environment and ask questions about programs and admission criteria. 2. Application and required documents. There is no application deadline; admissions are accepted on a space-available basis throughout the school year. To start the process, submit the completed Application Form along with documents including three passport photos, a certified copy of the birth certificate, previous school reports, a Medical Clearance Form with vaccination records, a copy of the family book (Jordanians only), copies of the student's passport and parents' residency permits, and copies of the parents' passports. For Grades 4–12, a Certificate of Good Conduct is also required. A joining fee is charged to initiate the admission process. Appointments for diagnostic testing are arranged after registration and initial payment are submitted. 3. Testing/diagnostic assessment. Provided that the application and initial payment are made, students applying for admission sit for an evaluation by ISC staff. Grades 1 and above sit for a diagnostic test as part of the admission process, and the results are used to determine placement. Appointments for diagnostic testing are arranged by the admission officer once the registration is complete. 4. Admission decision. Admission decisions are made after careful evaluation of the candidates, with results of diagnostic testing and previous school records considered on a case-by-case basis. Additional criteria include motivation, social and emotional development, willingness to work hard, and the school's ability to accommodate the candidate's needs. A final admission decision cannot be made without the requested documents. Once accepted and the required fees are paid, a place for the student is reserved. 5. Enrollment and seat reservation. Upon acceptance and payment of the required fees, a place for the student is reserved. This step completes the admissions process and secures the student's enrollment for the upcoming term.
