International Independent Schools

A locally founded family-style school opened in 2007, running American and British tracks side by side across two Amman campuses.

Two sites: a primary and secondary at Airport Road next to Petra University, and a junior campus in Khalda. Around 700 students from Pre-K to Grade 12. The curriculum is mixed, with US Common Core and AP alongside the UK National Curriculum, IGCSE and A Level, which means families can pick a route rather than commit to one stream from the start.

Parents who choose IIS talk about the close, family atmosphere more than the academics. The school positions itself that way and the reviews repeat it back. Intake is heavily Jordanian. It is not the school expat or diplomatic families default to. For local families wanting an English-medium private school with two curriculum routes and a small community feel, it is a credible mid-market choice.

• Parent voice on the Amman-based independent review pool is small but consistent. Reviewers describe a safe, family-style environment with attentive staff, with one parent saying their son "loves the school" and finds teachers considerate and passionate.
• One Reddit poster registered for SAT II testing at IIS in 2021 after their first-choice centres filled or could not guarantee they would stay open through May. Reads as a logistics data point, not a school-quality endorsement.
• IIS runs two campuses, on Airport Road and in Khalda, offering a UK and US blend with IGCSE and A-Level pathways alongside US Common Core.
• The school presents a Jordanian patriotism and community-service frame alongside its international curriculum, which fits some families and not others.
• No critical voice surfaced in the public review pool. The sample is too small to read sentiment as definitive.
