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.
1. Philosophy and equal opportunity. The admissions policy at ISO Education Amman is grounded in the International Baccalaureate philosophy of holistic education. It accepts applications from all students without discrimination on the basis of race, color, faith, gender, or national origin. The admissions committee, composed of the principal and IB program coordinators, ensures prospective families understand ISO's mission through introductory sessions. Final admission decisions are made by the principal in consultation with the relevant IB program coordinator.
2. Open, year‑round admissions and eligibility. Applications are accepted year‑round and admission is open to students of all nationalities and backgrounds. Space availability and the applicant's ability to benefit from the IB programs and services are considered in the decision. The applicant completes the admissions/registration form with a parent or legal guardian's signature, and all required documents are received and reviewed. The school also assesses its ability to meet the needs of students with special educational needs.
3. Special education needs and final decision. The school meets the needs of students with special educational needs (see Inclusion Policy). A final admission decision is made by the principal and the IB program coordinator after reviewing all relevant documents and considering the student's fit with the IB programs and available school services.
4. Primary Years Programme admissions. The Primary Years Programme is inclusive in design and open to all students from Kindergarten through Grade 5. Interviews are conducted for applicants to Kindergarten and Grade 1, and admission is offered regardless of English language proficiency, provided there are no additional educational needs.
5. Grades 2–5 assessment and support. For Grades 2–5 in the Primary section, students undertake three placement tests in English, Arabic, and Mathematics to identify weaknesses and strengths and to guide support for learners in the Primary Years Programme. For students with special educational needs, see the Inclusion Policy.
6. Policy updates. The admissions policy may be revised at any time during the academic year; changes require approval from the school leadership. The policy is reviewed annually based on feedback collected during the review cycle.
