In brief
A bilingual IB continuum school in Khalda authorised for the PYP, MYP and DP. Around 935 students, KG to grade 12, opened in 2010.
Coeducational and bilingual in Arabic and English, with German offered as an additional language. The school is one of a small group of Jordanian-owned schools running the full IB through to Diploma, which is the central reason families choose it over the larger national-curriculum private schools.
Fees sit in the mid range for Amman, roughly 3,000 to 8,500 JOD depending on age, well below the marquee international names. Intake is largely Jordanian and the school is locally owned rather than part of a global operator. A reasonable IB option for families who want bilingual delivery and do not need an expat-heavy environment.
Reviews
A bilingual IB continuum school in Khalda, running the Primary Years, Middle Years, and Diploma programmes from kindergarten through Grade 12. Fees sit at the lower end of Amman's international bracket, which is the loudest thing it has going for it in a city where the top-tier IB schools cost several multiples more.
Positives
- IB continuum and bilingual model. Full IB authorisation across PYP, MYP, and DP, taught bilingually in English and Arabic. Few Amman schools run the complete continuum, and fewer still do it bilingually, which makes the academic offer distinctive on paper.
- Fees and access. Annual tuition runs JOD 3,000 to 8,500 across the grades, with sibling and cash-payment discounts on top. That puts an IB diploma within reach for families who would be priced out of the city's pricier IB names.
- Leadership and continuity. Janet Wakileh leads as principal, having moved through vice-principal, acting-principal, and head-of-primary roles in Jordanian international education before taking the top job. The school passed its fifth IB authorisation milestone with no recorded regulatory violations on file with the Private Education Directorate.
