About international schools in Amman, Jordan

Islamic international schools in Amman combine explicitly Islamic provision - Qur’an lessons, Islamic education and a values-based school culture - with internationally recognised curricula such as the British (Cambridge IGCSE/A-level), the International Baccalaureate and American programmes; English is commonly the main medium while Arabic and Islamic studies are compulsory. Fees vary widely by curriculum and campus but most international-style schools in Amman charge tuition in the lower to mid-thousands of Jordanian dinars a year, with additional charges for registration, exams, transport and activities, so budget carefully. The academic year follows the Jordanian/Western rhythm with a main September intake and assessments or entrance testing often required earlier in the year; schools commonly publish sibling discounts and staged payment options. Relocating families should check how religious instruction is delivered, whether prayer space and gender arrangements meet their expectations, how the school supports non-Arabic speakers and what university pathways each curriculum opens up for older students.

FAQs for Jordan

What curricula do Islamic international schools in Amman usually offer?
You will commonly find British (Cambridge IGCSE and A-level), International Baccalaureate (PYP/MYP/DP) and American programmes in schools that describe themselves as Islamic and international; some schools also run the Jordanian national programme alongside an international stream. Islamic studies and Arabic are normally woven into the school day regardless of the international curriculum chosen, so families can combine faith provision with recognised international qualifications.
Which languages are used for teaching?
Most Islamic international schools in Amman teach core academic subjects in English while offering Arabic as a language of instruction and as a subject; Islamic and Qur’anic studies are usually taught in Arabic or bilingually. Some schools operate true bilingual programmes or offer additional language support for students arriving with limited Arabic, so check each school’s language policy and support services.
How much should I expect to pay in tuition and extra costs?
Tuition varies by school, stage and curriculum but international-style schools in Amman typically charge in the lower to mid-thousands of Jordanian dinars per year; fees for senior years or IB diploma programmes sit at the higher end of the range. Expect extra, often mandatory, costs for registration, assessment or entrance testing, examination fees (IGCSE/IB/A-level), transport, uniforms and optional trips or activities, and ask schools for a full fee schedule.
When should we apply and what does the admissions process look like?
The main intake is aligned with the September school year, but many schools accept applications year-round for places that open during the year; applications for the following September often begin several months earlier and popular schools operate waiting lists. Admissions usually involve submitting transcripts, an application fee, and an assessment or interview; some schools also require evidence of language ability or a probationary period, so confirm deadlines, required documents and payment schedules with each school.
What should parents compare when choosing between Islamic international schools in Amman?
Compare how Islamic education is incorporated (separate lessons, integrated values, Qur’an classes and prayer provision), the curriculum and university pathways offered, the balance of English and Arabic instruction, and the school’s accreditation and inspection reports. Also check pastoral care, English-as-an-additional-language provision, extracurricular breadth, fee inclusions and the total cost of attendance so you can match a school’s practical offer to your family’s priorities.
