Jordanian International Schools

Step 1 – Registration and documents: Complete all registration procedures and submit the required documents. Local students provide a transfer letter from the previous school and the latest Ministry report card. Students coming from outside Jordan must have their last report card certified by the Ministry of Education / Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the country of origin, or by the Jordanian Embassy / Cultural Attaché in the country of origin; UK transcripts must be certified by the British Council in Amman, and US transcripts by AMIDEAST in Amman. Completing an application is not a guarantee of acceptance.

Step 2 – Entry tests and interviews: Admission is based on successful completion of entry tests and an interview with the Admissions Committee, division principals, and head of student affairs. The Admissions Committee also evaluates English and Arabic language proficiency, Learning Support needs, Disciplinary Records, and Availability of Seats. Completing the tests and interview does not guarantee acceptance. The assessments inform placement decisions and may influence the level of courses or electives.

Step 3 – Placement meetings: All candidates meet with the Admissions department, Division Principal, Academic Advisor, and/or Program Coordinators to guide the selection of appropriate course levels and electives. They consider prerequisites, course prerequisites, equivalency, and graduation requirements to ensure alignment with the chosen program (National, British, American, or BTEC) and language readiness. Staff communicate next steps and decisions after these meetings.

Step 4 – Language criteria and Learning Support: English is the primary language of instruction in the international programs. Students not proficient in English may be admitted if they can develop sufficient English proficiency to enter the American High School Diploma Program or the British National Curriculum. The Learning Support program provides English as a Second Language (ESL), Arabic as a Second Language (ASL), and Special Education Needs services. Parents must submit complete reports; admissions evaluations determine whether the school can meet the student's needs.

The program emphasizes recognizing high achievement and reducing barriers to quality education. Scholarships are described as merit-based awards, financial support, and academic discounts.

A full academic scholarship is available in the Secondary Section from Grade 9 through Grade 12 for four consecutive years. Eligibility requires an average of 97% or above for the past two academic years, successful completion of admission exams in English, Arabic, and Mathematics, and a successful personal interview.
