Al-Saadah College Schools
Reviews
One of Amman's older private schools, running a dual British (IGCSE and A-Level) and Jordanian national track in English with Arabic alongside. Roots go back to a 1958 kindergarten in Lweibdeh, and the school is still family-led under Dr Nabil Kharman. Fees sit at the accessible end for English-medium Amman, in the JOD 1,760 to 3,160 band. Independent parent voice online is sparse; the school's reputation in the city rests more on longevity and price point than on a vocal review pool.
Positives
- Heritage and continuity. Founded in 1958 as one of the first kindergartens in Jordan and still operating under the same family direction. Long-serving leadership and an alumni base that stretches back decades.
- Dual-track curriculum. Offers IGCSE and A-Levels alongside the Jordanian Tawjihi, with English as the language of instruction and Arabic taught throughout. German is on the timetable as an additional language.
- Fees. JOD 1,760 to 3,160 a year keeps it well below the top of the English-medium Amman market and within reach of middle-income local families.
Considerations
- Scale and intake. Around 380 to 490 pupils across KG to Year 12, predominantly Jordanian with a small international share. Class sizes average around 18 with a 25 cap. Anyone looking for a large international peer group will find the mix narrower than at the bigger expat-facing schools.
- Independent parent feedback. Public discussion outside the school's own channels is light. The visible commentary is largely positive on teacher care and communication, but the pool is small and skews to directory-style testimonials.
