The School
This international school in Amman was founded in 1953, and is an independent, private and non-profit school.

A broad curriculum is grounded in the English National Curriculum with a strong international influence.

The school is located on a purpose-built, modern campus, surrounded by the hills and fields of rural Na'our but only a short drive from the life and energy of Amman. The campus boasts the full selection of attractive and specialist facilities demanded by the 21st Century British curriculum the school provides.
The Location
Perched 1000m above the timeless, mystical Dead Sea, Amman is one of the hidden gems of the region - a modern, cosmopolitan city, with a vibrant life both night and day, and a diverse, international population. One of the most welcoming countries in the world, Jordan provides a safe and family-friendly environment, rooted in foundations more ancient than anywhere else on the planet, but with an influence and outlook that belie its small size, not to mention an outstanding cuisine which will never disappoint. An outdoor enthusiast's playground, Jordan prides itself on a rich array of global wonders, from historic Petra to the deserts of Wadi Rum, and from the forested hills of Ajloun to the teeming reefs of the Red Sea. Whilst Amman enjoys four seasons, with snow and ice not uncommon each winter, its 310 days of sunshine every year have an inevitable effect on the wellbeing of its citizens, whose warmth has welcomed the displaced and the relocated from around the region and the world for over 100 years.
