Jordanian International Schools
A long-established private school in Tla'a Al-Ali, founded in 1992, running the Jordanian national curriculum alongside Cambridge IGCSE and A Level.
In brief
A long-established private school in Tla'a Al-Ali, founded in 1992, running the Jordanian national curriculum alongside Cambridge IGCSE and A Level.
Sits on Usamah Bin Munqeth Street and serves families who want a local-feel school with a recognised international exit route. Cambridge Checkpoint at primary, IGCSEs at 16, A Levels and SATs at 18. CIS and NEASC accreditation give it a credibility step above the average local private school.
Intake is overwhelmingly Jordanian. Fees are at the lower end of the Amman market, which is part of the appeal. There is little parent voice from the international circuit on this one, and it is not a school expat families typically end up at. For Jordanian families wanting bilingual academics with a Cambridge top-up at modest cost, it is a settled, known quantity.
Reviews
A long-established Tla'a Al-Ali school running the Jordanian national curriculum alongside British and American international tracks, with IGCSE, A-Levels and SAT as the leaving routes. The picture is of a settled, locally rooted school with a warm tone and a dual-track programme at mid-market fees, rather than a premium expat campus.
Positives
- Dual curriculum. Runs the Jordanian Ministry of Education programme alongside Cambridge Checkpoint, IGCSE and A-Levels, with SAT for the American track. English is the medium of instruction across the international stream.
- Family-feel reputation. The recurring note from current families is a warm, settled atmosphere with accessible staff. Long-serving teachers and a close parent body come up more than headline academic claims.
- Fee positioning. Annual tuition runs roughly JOD 2,100 to 5,900 across the lower years, climbing through secondary. That sits below the top-tier Amman international schools and is part of the appeal for Jordanian families wanting an English-medium route without flagship fees.
Considerations
- International recognition. Cambridge International registration covers the IGCSE and A-Level exams, but the school does not carry one of the better-known international accreditations such as CIS or NEASC. The framing is a Jordanian school offering international qualifications rather than a fully international school.
- Outside view. The school's public profile leans heavily on its own channels and admissions-facing material. Day-to-day teaching quality is hard to read from outside the gates without a school visit.
