Parent Experience

History
Al-Saadah College Schools traces its origins to 1958 when Georgette Abu Zaid established a small kindergarten in Amman, the first and only kindergarten in Jordan at that time. It expanded to include primary grades and moved to Al-Abdali, growing into one of the early private schools. In 1968, the founders purchased land near the Ministry of Interior and built the current building; a boarding section for expatriate Gulf students operated until 1970. A second floor was added to accommodate secondary levels, and by 1978 new classes increased enrollment. In 2002, the school was renamed Al-Saadah College Schools, and in 2023 it celebrated its 65th anniversary under principal Dr. Nabil Musa Kharman.
