Curriculum

ISC-Amman is a non-selective, English‑medium, K–12 school (ages 3+ to 18+) in the SABIS network, educating around 1,000 students from about 25 nationalities. The curriculum is the SABIS Educational System, delivered with the SABIS Point System and the SABIS AMS tracking to monitor progress and close learning gaps. On graduation from Grade 12, students earn the SABIS High School Diploma after completing five compulsory subjects plus two electives, and all graduates receive a globally recognized diploma. The program supports external exam pathways, including AP, Cambridge A‑Levels, and IGCSE; Jordan's MOE regulations permit sitting for one standardized exam. Beginning in Grade 9, two streams—AP Level and Cambridge-based tracks—are offered within the core curriculum, with university counseling starting in Grade 9.

Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

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 Educational Needs (SEN)

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.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

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.

Mental Wellbeing

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.

Safeguarding

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.

Admissions

Admissions

1. Schedule a visit to ISC-Amman. The school strongly recommends booking an appointment to visit the campus, meet with staff, and see the school in action. This helps families understand the environment and ask questions about programs and admission criteria.

2. Application and required documents. There is no application deadline; admissions are accepted on a space-available basis throughout the school year. To start the process, submit the completed Application Form along with documents including three passport photos, a certified copy of the birth certificate, previous school reports, a Medical Clearance Form with vaccination records, a copy of the family book (Jordanians only), copies of the student's passport and parents' residency permits, and copies of the parents' passports. For Grades 4–12, a Certificate of Good Conduct is also required. A joining fee is charged to initiate the admission process. Appointments for diagnostic testing are arranged after registration and initial payment are submitted.

3. Testing/diagnostic assessment. Provided that the application and initial payment are made, students applying for admission sit for an evaluation by ISC staff. Grades 1 and above sit for a diagnostic test as part of the admission process, and the results are used to determine placement. Appointments for diagnostic testing are arranged by the admission officer once the registration is complete.

4. Admission decision. Admission decisions are made after careful evaluation of the candidates, with results of diagnostic testing and previous school records considered on a case-by-case basis. Additional criteria include motivation, social and emotional development, willingness to work hard, and the school's ability to accommodate the candidate's needs. A final admission decision cannot be made without the requested documents. Once accepted and the required fees are paid, a place for the student is reserved.

5. Enrollment and seat reservation. Upon acceptance and payment of the required fees, a place for the student is reserved. This step completes the admissions process and secures the student's enrollment for the upcoming term.

Scholarships

No formal scholarship program is described for ISC-Amman.

Waitlist

Admissions are offered on a space-available basis throughout the school year. There is no publicly described waitlist or pool system; decisions depend on current space availability.
