About international schools in Jordan

International schools in Jordan are largely concentrated in Amman and typically offer British (Cambridge/IGCSE/A-level), American diploma and International Baccalaureate pathways, with many schools running bilingual Arabic - English programmes and a smaller number offering French or Jordanian-national tracks. Annual tuition varies widely by location and programme, with most day schools in Amman charging in the region of JOD 3,000 - 7,000 a year and higher fees at some IB and American-programme campuses; families should budget separately for registration, transport, exam and activity charges. The academic year follows a September start for most schools, so admissions activity usually peaks in the months before that, though some schools accept rolling or mid-year entrants where places exist. Expect schools to request passports, recent school reports, vaccination records and proof of residence at application, and to include Arabic language and, for Jordanian nationals, national/religious studies alongside the international curriculum.

FAQs for Jordan

Which curricula will my child be able to study in Jordanian international schools?
The most commonly offered programmes are British (Cambridge/IGCSE and A-level), American diploma pathways and the International Baccalaureate (PYP/MYP/DP), and some schools run dual or parallel tracks (for example international plus Jordanian national). Choice of curriculum affects subject options, assessment style and recognition for university entry, so match the programme to your family’s next-step plans.
How much should we expect to pay for international school in Jordan?
Tuition varies by school, curriculum and year group; in Amman most schools sit roughly between JOD 3,000 and JOD 7,000 a year, while established IB or full American-programme campuses frequently charge at the higher end of the market. Always ask what the published fee includes and budget extra for one-off registration deposits, transport, external exam fees and optional activities.
When should we apply and what is the admissions rhythm?
Most families apply in the months before the September start, so applications intensify in late winter and spring, but schools commonly run rolling admissions and may offer mid-year entry if a place is available. Schools typically require an application/registration fee and a deposit to hold a place, and they publish term/payment calendars (for example September, January and April instalments) that are useful to check early in the process.
What is the language of instruction and how is Arabic handled?
English is the primary medium of instruction in most international programmes, while Arabic is taught as a language subject and Jordanian students normally follow national or religious studies where required by the Ministry of Education. Many schools advertise bilingual streams or additional language options, so check both the daily teaching language and how Arabic/ASL support is scheduled.
What practical checks should parents make when comparing schools?
Look for accreditation or authorisation (for example IB authorisation or Cambridge/Cognia recognition), published fee breakdowns and the school’s policy on learning-support and special educational needs, sample timetables and university/career guidance for older students. Also compare catchment and transport logistics, class sizes and staff qualifications, and request recent inspection or accreditation reports and a clear list of what extras are charged outside tuition.
