The Ahliyyah School for Girls and Bishop's School Amman for Boys (Ahliyyah & Mutran) have provided progressive quality education since 1926. The schools offer the four International Baccalaureate Programs (PYP, MYP, DP, and CP) across the K–12 spectrum. In 2017, the two sister schools merged into a single institution with a co‑educational model that emphasizes engagement, empowerment, innovation, and lifelong learning. The IB framework and inquiry‑based learning shape curriculum and assessment to develop inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring young people.
Arts education is central, with structured programs in Music, Drama, and Visual Arts as part of the IB framework. The Performing Arts Department emphasizes self‑expression, aesthetic appreciation, and collaboration, with annual school plays, choir performances, and talent shows. The school hosts Art Exhibitions across grade levels and provides opportunities in Visual Arts, Drama, and Music, supported by an array of after‑school arts activities like dance and theatre. Performing arts and visual arts are integral components of the curriculum and school culture.
Multilingualism is a feature of the program, with Arabic as the language of instruction in the early years and English development alongside an additional language of French (and other options) in higher grades. The school emphasizes language acquisition across IB programs, reflecting a global‑mocongruent approach to communication and culture. This multilingual framework underpins learning spaces and interdisciplinary work throughout the IB continuum.
After‑school clubs enrich student life with ballet, gymnastics, football, basketball, track and field, French, drama, choir, band, art, chess, robotics, coding, and Dancing Classrooms. These activities foster social skills, teamwork, confidence, and leadership beyond the classroom. The program emphasizes student‑driven interests and social development through a wide range of extracurriculars.
Community Service & Service Learning are central to the school's mission, with projects that connect classroom learning to real‑world needs and develop personal achievement, spiritual growth, and moral development. Students undertake community service and social projects, building leadership, communication, and collaborative skills. These activities are integrated with IB learning and service opportunities across levels.
Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills cultivate self‑regulated learning, critical thinking, and adaptability as students prepare for higher study and leadership roles. Tasmeem, the annual Design Exhibition, connects students with Jordanian designers to mentor and showcase student work, fostering innovation and project leadership. Exchange programs expand global citizenship and cross‑cultural leadership experiences within the school's network of sister schools.
A dedicated Wellbeing department focuses on social, emotional, and physical wellness through prevention and intervention strategies across K–10, supported by policies and staff training. The curriculum includes Physical Education and health education, with activities like Dancing Classrooms that promote teamwork, confidence, and healthy lifestyles. Outdoor learning, camping, and after‑school activities further support physical and mental wellbeing and personal development.
