About international schools in Amman, Jordan

British-curriculum international schools in Amman generally follow the National Curriculum for England adapted to local requirements and lead towards IGCSEs and A-level (or equivalent) examinations administered through international exam boards. Teaching is delivered predominantly in English, while Arabic language classes - and Islamic education for Muslim students - are commonly part of the programme to satisfy Jordanian Ministry expectations. Published fee data for Amman shows a broad market with most international schools charging roughly JOD 3,400 - 7,000 a year and an average near JOD 4,600, though families should expect to pay separately for transport, uniforms, exam and activity fees. The main intake follows a late-summer academic calendar (terms usually start in August/September) but many schools accept applications year-round for mid-year places; admissions commonly require recent school reports, entrance assessments and standard identity and health documentation.

FAQs for Jordan

What qualifications will my child study in a British-curriculum school in Amman?
Pupils typically follow the English National Curriculum through Key Stages, study IGCSE (or equivalent O-level) subjects at about age 14 - 16, and then progress to A-level or other advanced programmes for university entry at 16 - 18. Examination boards commonly used in Amman include Cambridge International and Pearson Edexcel, and schools often adapt subject choices to include mandatory local elements such as Arabic and Jordanian history.
Is instruction in English and will my child have to study Arabic?
Yes, classroom instruction is almost always in English; however Arabic language is taught in all reputable international schools in Amman and Jordanian regulations mean Arabic (and Islamic education for Muslim students) is included in the curriculum or offered as a required subject. Non-Jordanian pupils are usually placed in appropriate Arabic or language-support groups depending on age and ability.
How much should we budget for school fees and extra costs?
Published fee surveys for Amman show most international schools charging in the region of JOD 3,400 to JOD 7,000 per year, with an average around JOD 4,600, but headline tuition rarely includes extras. Parents should budget additionally for transport, uniforms, external exam fees, school trips and optional activities, and check each school’s published fee policy for sibling discounts or charges for special educational needs support.
When is the usual admissions window and what documents or tests are typically required?
The principal intake is before the academic year that starts in late summer, though many schools accept applications throughout the year for mid-term vacancies. Typical admission requirements include recent school reports, copies of passports/visas, immunisation records, and age-appropriate entrance assessments or interviews; schools publish specific lists and may require equivalency documentation for older students.
Will IGCSEs and A-levels from Amman be recognised by universities in Jordan and abroad?
IGCSEs and A-levels are widely recognised internationally and are the standard route to undergraduate study in the UK and many other countries, but Jordanian universities require an official equivalency process and usually expect certain Arabic or national-curriculum subjects to have been studied. Parents of students aiming for local university entry should check the Jordanian Ministry of Education equivalency rules and confirm subject requirements with prospective universities.
What should we look for when comparing British-curriculum schools in Amman?
Compare which exam boards and subject options are offered, how the school meets Jordanian curriculum requirements (Arabic and Islamic studies), teacher qualifications and language-support provision for English-additional learners, class sizes and published assessment results or inspection reports. Also review practical matters such as fees and what they include, transport routes, campus location relative to your home, and policies for special educational needs and safeguarding.
