Jordan, Irbid
· Reviewed by Aziza Francienne · B2C Marketing Manager
American University School of the Middle East (AUSME) is an American international school based in Irbid, on the northern side of Jordan. Its website describes the school as “The First American International School Outside of Amman” and emphasises a modern, American‑style international curriculum alongside an active English department. The site's news items explicitly reference primary grades (for example, first‑quarter exams for grades 1–3) and show a range of school‑age extra‑curricular activities; independent listings also identify pre‑primary provision and both stages of secondary education, though the school's own site gives limited detail on full age ranges. English is presented as a working language (English Language Olympics, spelling bee, English Department events) and the site is available in Arabic; specific language‑teaching programmes are not fully described online. The school's website does not publish a detailed list of campus facilities; documented distinctive elements include spelling bees, an English Language Olympics and participation in Model United Nations and inter‑school competitions.
