Curriculum

Amman Academy students receive a bilingual education in Arabic and English from preschool through grade 12. After completing the MYP, students transition into the IB Diploma Programme (grades 11‐12). This is an academically challenging programme wherein students study six subjects over the course of two years, complete internal assessments that are moderated abroad, and sit for an external examination in each subject at the end of the programme. Students are encouraged to make connections across the academic disciplines that they study in depth.

Extracurricular programs

There is a wide variety of academic, cultural, pre‐professional, and special interest clubs and student organizations on campus. These include Model United Nations, Harvard Model Congress Europe, Debate Club, Medicine Club, Poetry Club, Drama Club, Student Council, science research and internships. Students are given the opportunity throughout the school year to display artwork they created through exhibits, as part of their school curriculum and through personal interest. Students have the opportunity to pursue artistic interests in the following areas: ceramics, choir, concert band, design, drawing, painting, and studio art. STEM students have access to the solar lab, where they conduct research on eco‐friendly energy systems.
