Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Step 1 — Registration window and initial enrollment: Registration of old students and registration of new students begins at the start of the second semester. This applies to both returning students and new applicants. The academy communicates with families by phone, SMS, website and e-mail, and via Facebook to share registration updates and instructions.
Step 2 — Admissions decision and placement: Applicants are approved for admission after being interviewed by specialists and after an entrance examination is conducted. The admissions process uses placement assessments to determine the appropriate entry level. Placement exams for new students assess Math and English, with an optional Arabic section; language exams in Arabic and French evaluate placement in language courses once admitted to the International Section.
Step 3 — Required papers and documentation: The registration process requires several documents: a transfer certificate certified by the Directorate of Education from the school of origin, an authenticated birth certificate, the last school certificate authenticated to regulations, and the original vaccination card for kindergarten and first grade. Four personal photos are required for kindergarten and first grade. For KG, a copy of the family book is required; for Gaza Strip children, a copy of the passport is required; a letter from private education approves admission for non-Jordanians arriving from outside Jordan.
Step 4 — Fees and payment terms: The registration fee for a new student in the current academic year is 300 JD and is calculated within the school tuition. If withdrawal or cancellation occurs due to missing papers or if registration is canceled, the registration is not refundable. Families are informed of updates via phone, SMS, website/e-mail, and Facebook during the registration process.
Step 5 — Grade placement and age requirements: A child is accepted into Pr-KG if they are three years old, into KG1 if they complete the fourth year, into KG2 if they complete the fifth year, and into the first primary grade if they complete the sixth year by 12/31. For non-Jordanians, admission requires a private education approval letter.
There is no published waitlist or pool policy described in the admissions materials.
No scholarships are described or published by the school.
The International Leaders Academy (ILA) in Amman, Jordan, serves students from kindergarten through high school. It operates two curricula: The National Program (Jordan's Ministry of Education) and The International Program. The school opened in 2010 and is located on Amman Airport Street. The Kindergarten Department offers a bilingual language curriculum, while English instruction uses the English World program; other subjects generally follow MOE curricula. The International Section Principal is Maysoon Alzaidat. In the early years, instruction is bilingual (Arabic and English). French is taught as a subject, alongside core subjects such as math and science. MAP testing is used to monitor progress, and language examinations cover Arabic and French. The campus provides extensive facilities, including a swimming pool, library, music room, science laboratories, auditorium, gym, praying rooms, and computer labs. Transportation is available, and the school is organized with both co-educational and gender-segregated sections across levels.
