Curriculum

Amman Academy students receive a bilingual education in Arabic and English from Kindergarten on to grade 12.  We currently have two curricular streams by which the Jordanian National Curriculum and the IB Diploma Program are taught.  Our weekly schedule consists of 40 lessons per week; each lesson 45 minutes in length.

In 2006, we received authorization to teach the IB Diploma Program and have recently entered the candidate phase of implementing the IB Middle Years Program in grades 6-10.

Students in the National Stream will sit for the national and official school leaving certificate after completing 12 years of education in Jordan, also known as Tawjihi. We are currently phasing out the National Stream.
