About international schools in Jordan

IB Curriculum international schools in Jordan are offered by a sizeable group of IB World Schools - particularly concentrated in Amman - some of which deliver the full IB continuum (PYP, MYP, DP) while others offer only specific programmes. Instruction is most commonly delivered in English, with Arabic taught as a core language and several schools operating bilingual Arabic - English programmes that also meet Jordanian Ministry requirements. Published tuition for international schools in Amman varies widely; publicly listed figures and market guides place many schools in a mid-range around JOD 3,000 - 7,000 per year, with higher fees common in upper secondary and additional charges for registration, transport, exams and trips. The main intake follows the late-August/September academic year and schools typically ask for an application, recent school reports, identification (birth certificate/passport) and an age-appropriate assessment or interview, so families should begin enquiries several months before a planned move.

FAQs for Jordan

What ages and stages do the IB programmes cover in Jordanian international schools?
The IB is usually taught across three main stages: the Primary Years Programme (PYP) for early years and primary pupils, the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for lower-secondary ages, and the Diploma Programme (DP) for upper secondary (pre-university) students. Exact age ranges and year-group boundaries vary by school, but parents can expect PYP through to around age 11 - 12, MYP roughly 11 - 16 and DP roughly 16 - 19 in schools that offer the full continuum.
What is the language of instruction and how is Arabic handled?
Most IB international schools in Jordan teach the majority of subjects in English while offering Arabic as a compulsory subject and providing bilingual Arabic - English tracks at a number of campuses. Schools also typically offer additional modern languages (for example French) and provide language-support services for students joining with limited English or Arabic proficiency; families of Jordanian nationals should expect schools to follow any applicable national language requirements.
How much should I budget for school fees at an IB international school in Amman?
Published fee data for Amman shows wide variation by school and by year group, but many families should expect annual tuition in the mid-range (several thousand Jordanian dinars), with figures commonly reported around JOD 3,000 - 7,000 and higher costs for some secondary/DP placements. Always request the school’s full fee schedule (including registration, capital levies, transport, lunches, exam and extracurricular costs) because headline tuition often excludes these extras.
When should we apply and what documents are typically required?
The main intake is aligned with the late-August/September school year, so families relocating internationally should start enquiries and submit applications several months ahead of arrival. Schools commonly require an application form, recent school reports and transcripts, a copy of the child’s birth certificate and passport, and an age-appropriate assessment or interview; some schools also ask for health records and proof of residence or visa status.
What should parents look for when comparing IB schools in Jordan?
Confirm which IB programmes the school is authorised to teach (PYP, MYP, DP), the school’s language policy and the availability of English or Arabic support, and how the school handles university and career guidance for DP students. Also check fees and what they include, the school’s safeguarding and pastoral care arrangements, class sizes and extracurricular provision, and whether the school publishes clear outcomes (for example DP results or university destinations) and accreditation information.
