Parent Experience

History
Al-Ittihad Schools Shareholding Company was established on May 8, 2000 through the merger of Al-Ittihad Schools Limited Liability Company (founded in 1993) with Fajr Al-Sabah Schools Limited Liability. A distinguished board of directors has guided the group, with a policy of appointing competent teachers and providing facilities to support high achievement. Al Ittihad International School was founded in 2007 as the International Programme within the group to provide the highest international standards while remaining rooted in Arab Islamic heritage. The school offers CP, CS, IGCSE, GCE and the American Programme (AHSD) to prepare students for higher education. There is a clear emphasis on English-language instruction and project-based learning, supported by modern facilities and technology.

Community
The Al Ittihad International School runs an extensive extra-curricular program with weekly activities for primary, middle, and high school students. Team sports such as volleyball, basketball and football are offered, with participation encouraged in internal and external competitions. Students participate in educational trips that connect classroom topics with the wider environment. News posts from 2024 show an active school life, including Union Scouts activities and creative writing initiatives, reflecting a community-focused approach to student life.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
A formal Parent-Teacher Association is not publicly documented on the International School's site. Parent involvement appears through school events and external collaborations; the News section shows various events that involve students and partners. In 2025 Amman Arab University participated in a 'Career Talk Day' hosted by Al Ittihad Schools in cooperation with Uniranks and the Ministry of Education, illustrating active community engagement. The International School provides a dedicated contact page with address, email and phone for inquiries. For precise information about a PTA or parent committees, contact the school directly. Publicly documented parent involvement is therefore primarily through events rather than a formal PTA structure.

Admissions

Admissions
1. Registration and initial submission: Registration typically starts in May, and seats are limited with registration closing when the quota for each class is met. Families should submit the completed school application and begin gathering the required documents early to maximize the chance of a successful intake. The Admissions Office advises prospective parents to plan ahead because class quotas can fill quickly.

2. Entrance examinations: Applicants must sit the Entrance Exams, which cover Arabic, English and Maths. A minimum average of 50% is required for admission consideration. The exams assess language and numerical skills, and performance in these areas directly influences eligibility. An interview accompanies the exam process to gauge readiness and fit for the program.

3. Interview and eligibility assessment: After the exams, an interview is conducted to confirm the student's readiness to join the school. Performance on the exam and interview collectively determine admission eligibility. The admissions process emphasizes both academic and social readiness for the school environment. Non-native Arabic speakers may be placed into special leveled groups to support language development as part of the consideration process.

4. Enrollment documents submission: The completed application form must be submitted with the required documents to the admissions office. The documents requested include: a birth certificate, vaccination card for KG1, KG2 and Grade 1; three passport-size photos; Family Book for Jordanians with National Number; resident permit for non-Jordanian students (annual submission); health certificate; Transfer certificate; and certified end-of-year marks from previous schools.

5. Language support and final admission steps: Non-native speakers of Arabic join special leveled groups to improve language proficiency, as needed.
