In brief
A young IB continuum school in Dabouq founded in 2012, authorised for PYP, MYP and DP. Bilingual delivery in Arabic and English, with a single-sex structure from grade 6 upward.
Coeducational through grade 5, then girls only beyond that, which makes BIA an unusual fit in the Amman international sector and rules it out for families with older boys. One of only a handful of schools in Jordan running all three IB programmes through to Diploma.
Fees in the lower-to-mid range for Amman and a published homework policy that explicitly tells parents not to hire tutors or teach at home. Intake is predominantly Jordanian. Worth a look for families wanting an all-girl secondary with a full IB track.
