About international schools in Jordan

British-curriculum international schools in Jordan deliver the English National Curriculum adapted for an international setting, most commonly preparing students for Cambridge or Pearson Edexcel IGCSEs at age 16 and AS/A-Levels thereafter. Instruction is delivered primarily in English, while Arabic language, Islamic education (for Muslim students) and Jordanian social studies or history are normally taught alongside the international programme to meet national requirements. Annual tuition at British-curriculum schools in Amman typically sits in the mid-range for international provision - many schools quote roughly JOD 3,000 - 6,000 in primary and higher fees in secondary, with published guides showing an average around JOD 4,600 and a broad band between about JOD 3,400 and JOD 7,000. Most schools follow a Northern-Hemisphere academic year (starting late August or early September); the main intake is at the beginning of the year, applications commonly open in the preceding winter and some schools also accept rolling or mid-year entry subject to availability and assessments.

FAQs for Jordan

What does a “British curriculum” pathway actually mean for my child’s studies?
A British-curriculum pathway follows the National Curriculum for England organised into year groups and Key Stages, building towards externally assessed IGCSE/GCSE qualifications at about age 16 and AS/A-Levels (or equivalent A-Level routes) by age 18. Schools usually offer a broad range of subjects across English, maths and sciences plus humanities, languages and creative subjects, and external exam boards such as Cambridge International and Pearson Edexcel are commonly used.
Will my child still learn Arabic and Jordanian national subjects?
Yes. International schools delivering the British curriculum in Jordan typically teach Arabic (either as first language or as Arabic as a second language), and they include Jordanian history/social studies and Islamic education for Muslim students in order to satisfy national equivalency and Ministry requirements. Families should check how a particular school schedules these lessons and whether they prepare students for the Jordanian equivalency process if you need local university recognition.
How much should we budget for fees and extra costs?
Tuition is the largest cost and varies by campus, age and reputation: expect mid-range international British schools in Amman to charge in the thousands of Jordanian dinars per year, with secondary fees generally higher than primary. In addition to tuition, budget for registration and admission charges, exam fees for IGCSE/A-Level subjects, school transport, uniforms, trips and extra-curricular activities, as these items are commonly invoiced separately.
When should we start the admissions process and what does it involve?
Begin enquiries well before your move: the main intake is at the start of the school year (late August/early September) and many schools open applications and fee invoicing in the winter months beforehand, though some operate rolling admissions if places are available. Admissions commonly include submission of previous school reports (often attested), an application form, entrance assessments in core subjects and an interview; schools will advise on any document attestation required by the Ministry or the British Council and on deadlines for fee payments to secure a place.
Will A-Levels taken at a British school in Jordan allow entry to universities in Jordan and abroad?
A-Levels and IGCSEs are widely accepted by overseas universities; for entry to Jordanian public universities there is a formal equivalency process that typically requires completion of certain national subjects (Arabic, Jordanian history/social studies and Islamic education for Muslim students) and documentary attestation. Families planning local university entry should confirm exact subject and grade requirements with the school and with the Jordanian Ministry of Higher Education or the target university early in the application process.
