About international schools in Jordan

Islamic international schools in Jordan combine a recognised international curriculum (British/Cambridge, American, or IB are common) with formal Islamic education, regular Quran and prayer time, and school life adapted to Muslim practices such as halal catering and modest dress codes. Instruction is usually bilingual: Arabic is taught as a core subject and used for religious classes, while English is the main language in many international-stream subjects. Fees vary widely with curriculum, campus and age group, but families should expect anything from modest bilingual private-school rates up to international-school levels in Amman; precise annual tuition depends on whether the school offers IB/IGCSE/AP or a national pathway. Most schools begin their academic year in early September, operate an admissions cycle of application, assessment and interview months before the start date, and will require families relocating to check equivalency, transfer paperwork and whether the chosen pathway is recognised as Tawjihi-equivalent for entry to Jordanian universities.

FAQs for Jordan

How are Islamic international schools different from other international schools in Jordan?
They integrate Islamic studies, regular prayer times, Quran instruction and Muslim-cultural practices into the school day alongside international syllabuses; many also provide gender-sensitive arrangements at secondary level and halal food services. Operationally they still offer the same external qualifications as other international schools (for example IGCSE, IB or American diplomas) but will add formal religious instruction and pastoral systems aligned with those values.
Which curricula and final qualifications can my child follow?
Islamic international schools commonly offer the British/Cambridge (IGCSE/A-Level), American diploma (sometimes with AP), or the International Baccalaureate; some schools also follow Jordanian ministry programmes and can provide Tawjihi equivalency for local university entry. Parents should confirm with each school how foreign qualifications are certified as Tawjihi-equivalent if Jordanian university entry is planned.
What languages of instruction are used?
Most Islamic international schools in Jordan are bilingual: English is typically the language of instruction for science, maths and international subjects, while Arabic is taught as a core language and is normally the medium for Islamic studies and Quran. The balance between English and Arabic varies by school and by grade, so check language maps and sample timetables when comparing options.
How much should we budget for fees and additional costs?
Tuition varies by curriculum and school standard; in Amman a broad market pattern runs from lower-cost bilingual private schools through mid-range international campuses to higher-fee IB or long-established international schools, so annual fees can range from a few thousand Jordanian dinars up into the higher thousands for older grades. In addition to tuition expect registration and assessment fees, bus transport, uniforms, exams and extracurricular trips, and check the school’s published fee schedule and payment terms for exact totals.
What is the usual admissions timeline and process for relocating families?
Schools typically open applications several months before the September start of term, with places allocated after an application, assessment (English and maths placement tests are common) and a documentation check or interview; some schools accept mid-year entry where capacity allows. Relocating families should prepare certified transcripts, passport/visa documents and any school reports in advance, and ask about how the school supports new international entrants with language or curriculum bridging.
