In brief
A bilingual Christian school in Al-Rabieh founded in 1974, with around 1,350 students from preschool to grade 12. IGCSE and IB Diploma alongside the Jordanian programme.
Rooted in Christian values but open to Muslim students, who attend Islamic religion classes in parallel. Mission language leans on character, faith and pastoral care, and that shows up in how alumni and current parents describe the place. The school has been authorised for the IB Diploma since 2016 and runs Cambridge IGCSE alongside the national curriculum.
Fees are not published in the international directories and the intake is overwhelmingly Jordanian, so this is a local Christian school rather than an expat option. Families who choose it tend to stay across siblings and generations, and the school carries strong loyalty in its community.
Reviews
- The independent online review pool is very small. Two short r/jordan comments mention the school: one in 2020 said "I've heard that it's pretty good", and one in 2019 referenced foreigners gathering there on Sunday mornings.
- Edarabia carries one parent-alumni review from February 2026 describing the school as a "second home" and praising character formation and faith. It reads as a representative voice rather than a sample.
- The school was authorised for the IB Diploma in 2018, teaches bilingually in Arabic and English, and has been operating since 1974 with an explicit Christian-values orientation; Islamic religion classes are offered for Muslim students.
- No critical pool surfaced, Mumsnet or expat.com. The available signal is consistent but thin.
