Since it was established in 2014, SIA has enjoyed a reputation that qualified it to gain the trust of parents as well as the accreditation of respected educational organizations. In the year 2014, the school has been inspected by the Edexcel accredited visit for Quality Assurance Review. The visit has resulted in accrediting the school by the committee, a fact that urged all the school staff to exert more effort not only to keep what they gained but also to achieve more. Then, opening classes of senior grades, 10 to 12, in the year 2015-2016 encouraged so many students to join the school that the total number increased from 520 in 2015-2016 to more than 850 in 2016-2017.

The school was re-accredited by the Accreditation International Organization in 2015 for 5 years based on the new standards of accrediting the American schools. Also, one important breakthrough that the school has achieved is that it has become an accredited SAT Test Center since December 2017.

This rising rate of students ‘number reflects the credibility that SIA is enjoying in not only Irbid city but also in other surrounding cities, many parents put SIA as a priority when it is time to register for school. The concept of development is always there at SIA to achieve what is best for students and the whole educational process. As a result, the school has put plans to form new premises well facilitated and equipped to meet the standards of an institution of American curriculum.

The school always keeps its commitment towards parents and students of the ongoing process of improvement. Since the beginning of implementing the American curriculum within the school, a lot of efforts have been and are still being exerted to help students go through this curriculum as well as pass the SAT I and SAT II exams. Applying the delivery methods that help students grasp the contents of different subjects in interactive ways is a privilege that is always available at SIA. Lessons of SAT I English and Math, and SAT II different subjects are formally set within the weekly schedules of 10th, 11th, and 12th graders.

Many teachers at SIA are qualified enough to conduct lessons on SAT I and SAT II subjects. Standardized tests- MAP in English (reading & language) and Mathematics are used at school to norm students globally. Other forms of standardized tests in English, Math and Science (biology, chemistry, and physics) are being given to students to prepare them for the real SAT I and SAT II tests.

The school provides miscellaneous activities as an integral part of the educational process, encouraging students’ participation to enhance their learning skills. The intimate atmosphere within the school premises helps all teachers as well as students, to forget about their races and mingle in a unified environment vital to the success of the teaching/learning process.
