The SABIS Student Life Organization (SLO) is the heart of ISC‑Amman and is a student‑led mini‑society that empowers students to engage in daily school life, offering academic, social, and emotional benefits for all involved. The SLO comprises nine departments, including Academic, Discipline, Wellness, Activities, Outreach, and Social Responsibility, which collectively support students' development beyond the classroom. The Academic Department provides peer tutoring, academic competitions, study groups, and shadow teaching to bolster learning confidence, while the Discipline Department runs bullying‑prevention campaigns to maintain a safe school environment. The SLO is integrated into the timetable as a weekly period, ensuring regular opportunities for activities and skill development. The Wellness Department promotes a healthy lifestyle and supports students' emotional and social wellbeing as part of the SLO's broad wellbeing focus.
Special Academic Support is described as a pathway for students who are academically behind, with placement determined by diagnostic tests. Students entering Grade 1 and above are assessed to determine placement, and those behind academically are rarely refused; they may receive one of several solutions at extra cost. Available options include Summer School (six weeks), Special Lessons (extra periods in a subject), and Full‑Special Classes (accelerated programs). ISC‑Amman is described as non‑selective, co‑educational, and English‑medium, and is not presented as a specialist SEN institution. The site does not publish specific SEN categories or a formal list of SEN provisions beyond these options.
ISC‑Amman is an English‑medium school. The School Profile notes English as a Second Language as an IGCSE subject, indicating ESL is accommodated within the curriculum. Public materials do not describe a dedicated EAL support program beyond English‑medium instruction, though ESL appears as an exam subject within the IGCSE framework. The absence of a specifically described EAL department or programme is not publicly disclosed beyond these points.
Wellness is a formal focus within the SABIS Student Life Organization, with the Wellness Department dedicated to promoting a healthy lifestyle for students and staff. The SLO includes an Academic Department that supports learning alongside a Discipline Department that runs bullying‑prevention campaigns to foster a safe and respectful environment. The nine SLO departments collectively contribute to social and emotional development, leadership, empathy, and resilience through activities, events, and campaigns. The SLO period is embedded in the weekly timetable to ensure regular engagement with wellbeing activities.
Public ISC‑Amman materials describe wellbeing and student life supports (SLO, counseling) but do not publish a standalone safeguarding or child‑protection policy in these public materials. Counseling is listed as a school service, and SLO departments include Welfare‑related functions, suggesting an embedded approach to student welfare without a separate published safeguarding policy. For families seeking safeguarding specifics, the available public material does not provide a dedicated policy text.
