  1. Welcome to Sands National Academy (SNA), where its mission and program have earned a reputation for excellence in Jordan and beyond. The school was founded to offer a valuable learning experience to meet the needs of the diverse local community. We want our graduates to be confident, adaptable, and independent learners able to excel in an increasingly competitive world. Sands National Academy was founded in August 2007. SNA adopted the motto “New Educational Dawn for New Generations” At the outset of SNA, the number of students mounted to 1500. The students of SNA have equal opportunities for a good education in a healthy multi-cultural environment. The main aim of the SNA is to provide physical, mental, professional, and cultural growth for its students so that they can fit into and count for something in their community. We believe that to live harmoniously in the modern world, we need to develop a global perspective that promotes international cooperation and understanding. In SNA we have three programs: the national stream follows the Jordanian Ministry of Education curriculum culminating in Tawjeehi the international stream follows the American curriculum leading to the American High School diploma as well as the British National curriculum, which leads to IGCSE and GCE. We look at what a child could do, rather than what he/she cannot do we focus on including every student in the process of learning. Specialists in languages have joined the Academy to facilitate progress in English and Arabic to allow non-native speakers to access all subjects within the curriculum. Every student is expected to realize their potential. The academy's mission is based on enhancing a Comprehensive educational environment that cares about the student's personality (mentally, socially, and Physically) taking into consideration the technological and educational developments that support our target in addition to creating a competitive atmosphere for students in the different stages. We treat our school community as a family. And as a family, we support and encourage our students to strive for excellence in all aspects of their educational, personal, and spiritual development.
  2. Curriculum: Tawjihi The International Independent School is located on a 26,000 sq meters campus in a residential area. The International Independent School serves nearly 700 students. IIS was established in 2007. It is an accredited Prekindergarten through Twelfth Grade, college-preparatory, coeducational, independent, day school in Amman, Jordan. It is accredited by the Jordan Ministry of Education, Advanced Ed for the American curriculum ( SAT, ACT, AP) and is recognized as an accredited school by Edexcel and Cambridge for the IGCSE and GCE British programs. The academically challenging curriculum is responsive to each child's needs and is supported by a strong honor code. There is a 7-to-1, student-to-teacher ratio, and the educational process is a cooperative endeavor among students, parents, and faculty. This process not only prepares the student for college study but also supports self-esteem and a love of learning. The Lower School strives to develop self-esteem and to build a sense of responsibility toward others. It encourages independent thinking within a solid academic foundation. The Middle and Upper Schools provide students with the skills, attitudes, and character development they need to succeed in competitive colleges and universities. Advanced Placement classes are available in all disciplines in the Upper School. There is a dress code and community service requirement, all of which foster an environment necessary for the education and enrichment of the child as a social being. The students are very excited about their school and are committed to the positive environment that is created by all. IIS has a pioneering philosophy in the education field through our profound beliefs that every student is a special individual with separate interests and abilities to learn according to his/her experience. We believe in working hand in hand as partners with the family and community in the augmentation of the academic and social maturity of our students. We believe in providing a distinguished and stimulating educational environment for the students to learn in better strategies based on the international standards supported by modern means of Information Communication Technology (ICT). We empower our students to recognize their strengths and talents and to carry out their responsibilities. We offer a variety of opportunities for leadership, initiative‐taking, and decision-making. We foster in our students the appreciation of art, music, drama, and sports. We also promote self‐discipline and dedication to their goals. The foundation stone of I.I.S philosophy is reinforcing a positive attitude, integrity, self‐respect, and success as a result of honesty and hard work. Our mission is to install knowledge in all of our students and the necessary skills to thrive as life-long learners and responsible citizens. IIS students will grow to be confident, cooperative, and prepared to meet the challenges of the future they will work together as one to be able to shape a better future, loving community, and well-raised generations through participation and mutual responsibility. The children we teach at International Independent school will live, think and learn in the 21st Century, which will be characterized by a different type of thinking — a higher level of thinking that forces adaptation to today’s rapidly changing world. IIS students can no longer be passive recipients of facts and figures that they dutifully memorize and just as dutifully forget after a quiz or test is turned in. In a world where knowledge is always expanding, our challenge as educators is to stay ahead of that expansion by teaching our students to become better thinkers. IIS is committed to an academic program centered on developing just these sorts of critical and creative thinking skills. We are designing learning experiences from pre-K to twelfth grade that will grow our students into adults prepared for a lifetime of thoughtful living and learning. First, we encourage our children to stretch themselves to a higher level of thinking. Knowledge, comprehension, and application are essential first steps on the thinking “ladder” that must also proceed to the higher levels of inference, analysis, interpretation, prediction, and evaluation. Our students are naturally inquisitive, and a curriculum focused on critical thinking will provide them with those tools vital to promoting and even provoking that inquiry. In addition to promoting critical thinking, IIS classrooms will also foster creative thinking by celebrating the uniqueness of each child and by providing challenging, open-ended assignments that might have more than one right answer. A classroom filled with creative thinking produces fluency, flexibility, and originality while offering new ideas in a variety of diverse contexts seen through an array of unique perspectives. Ultimately, a classroom that encourages creative thinking is a classroom of endless possibilities, and every room, performance hall, court, field, and office at IIS is committed to this belief. As educators, we provide our students with as many opportunities to develop critical and creative thinking skills as possible with the aid of technology, experience, expertise, and desire. As future leaders and problem solvers, our students will regularly grapple with challenges that we can only imagine today. How exciting and invigorating are their future possibilities — it is our privilege to take part in their journey. View full school

  4. The school of Terra Santa is one of the two ethnic schools of the Maronite Community. It has its origins in 1641 when a team of Franciscan monks decided to establish a school aiming at the promotion of diligence and virtue. The school operated under the name of Terra Santa (School of the Holy Land) in 1646 under the responsibility and protection of the Order of Franciscan monks which has its base in Jerusalem.

In 1936 it came into the hands of the British and in 1947 came back under the control of the Franciscan monks and changed its name to Terra Santa College. Previously the school operated in the Paphos Gate area whereas from 1955 the school moved to the whole owned new building in the Acropolis area of Nicosia. Since 1913 the school programs were extended also to secondary education. Since 1970 a nursery is also operating. On 28th January 2013, a cooperation agreement was signed between the University of Cyprus and the Terra Santa College confirming that the College will operate as a model University of Cyprus High School. The school hosted students from all the Maronite villages, especially from Kormakitis, since the Franciscan nuns who maintain a monastery in Kormakitis had direct involvement with the school.

  8. In a setting that is rich in history and tradition, King’s Academy is committed to providing a comprehensive college-preparatory education through a challenging curriculum in the arts and sciences an integrated co-curricular program of athletics, activities, and community service, and a nurturing residential environment. Our students will learn to be independent, creative, and responsible thinkers within an ethical community that encourages young men and women of diverse backgrounds and beliefs to excel, to cherish one another, and to prepare for leadership. King’s Academy, an independent, coeducational boarding and day school, will provide outstanding young men and women from Jordan, the Middle East, and beyond an educational experience unlike any available in the region. Blending an American style of education rooted in the liberal arts and sciences with Middle Eastern history, traditions, language, and cultural values, the Academy will feature close teacher-student interaction, the most current technological resources, and a stimulating array of curricular and extracurricular activities designed to help students flourish intellectually and personally. Welcoming talented students from all backgrounds, religions, and social classes, the Academy aims to foster empathy, tolerance, and harmony. Through the active participation of students and teachers in a self-governing community, it will prepare students for future roles as leaders in government, business, and civic life. The King’s Academy campus is unique in the Middle East. Designed by renowned Egyptian architect and Director of the Prince’s School of Traditional Arts in London Khaled Azzam, the campus and buildings are constructed on an extensive 575-dunum site (144 acres) and comprise some 34 major buildings. These include state-of-the-art classrooms, laboratories, and a 50,000-book library, a multi-faith spiritual center and garden, dormitories incorporating faculty family apartments, and a magnificent auditorium that will serve not just the school but the nation as well.

We offer Advanced Placement exams in 27 subjects, as well as a variety of electives in history, religion, and the arts, including courses in vocal and instrumental music, dance, theater, sculpture, drawing, and painting. Following our five Guiding Principles—respect, a love of learning, responsibility, the need for an integrated life, and global citizenship—the goal of education at King’s Academy is to ensure that students emerge with the knowledge and skills that will allow them not merely to gain admission to the most selective colleges and universities in the world, but more importantly to develop their full potential as human beings. At King’s Academy, we stress canonical approaches to the acquisition of understanding, as well as less traditional means, such as collaborative small group work individual research and a “portfolio” approach, in which students demonstrate their understanding through projects and activities, not just through exams. Each term, students take seven or eight courses, most meeting for 45 minutes a day. During their junior and senior years, students will have the option of taking several advanced or interdisciplinary elective courses. Throughout the curriculum we emphasize: Mastery of written and oral expression in both Arabic and English and the related skills of interpretation, analysis, and argument Quantitative literacy, scientific investigation, and the responsible, thoughtful use of technology The exercise of critical and ethical judgment as well as a rigorous inquiry into the world’s major religious, philosophic, and literary traditions The cultivation of imagination and empathy Active, engaged learning.

  13. Along with the sites of the educational institutions working under the OES umbrella, we hope this serves as yet another open channel of communication to help us provide the best service to our students and the various segments of society which we serve. Established in 1957, OES is one of the oldest societies in Jordan. We are proud to be pioneers in providing humanitarian and educational services to all members of our Jordanian community. Our main focus is on education. The schools we have established include the two National Orthodox Schools in the areas of Shmaisani and Ashrafiyeh, as well as their kindergartens, Wahbeh Tamari Kindergarten and Ashrafiayeh Kindergarten respectively. Thousands of the sons and daughters of our beloved Jordan have graduated from these reputable academic establishments, moving on to serve in various positions, many of them becoming prominent leaders in different fields. As a next step, we are looking into the establishment of a National Orthodox University, with a focus on offering specializations needed by the Jordanian labor market as well as the markets of neighboring Arab countries. This is one of the projects that we are exploring to maximize the benefit for the community from the lands that OES owns in Um Al-Kundum area on the outskirts of Amman. Our society is a national, charitable, non-profit organization par excellence. We are here to serve all, regardless of race or religion, based on our deep commitment to Arab Nationalism.

Along with the sites of the educational institutions working under the OES umbrella, we hope this serves as yet another open channel of communication to help us provide the best service to our students and the various segments of society which we serve. Established in 1957, OES is one of the oldest societies in Jordan. We are proud to be pioneers in providing humanitarian and educational services to all members of our Jordanian community. Our main focus is on education. The schools we have established include the two National Orthodox Schools in the areas of Shmaisani and Ashrafiyeh, as well as their kindergartens, Wahbeh Tamari Kindergarten and Ashrafiayeh Kindergarten respectively. Thousands of the sons and daughters of our beloved Jordan have graduated from these reputable academic establishments, moving on to serve in various positions, many of them becoming prominent leaders in different fields. As a next step, we are looking into the establishment of a National Orthodox University, with a focus on offering specializations needed by the Jordanian labor market as well as the markets of neighboring Arab countries. This is one of the projects that we are exploring to maximize the benefit for the community from the lands that OES owns in Um Al-Kundum area on the outskirts of Amman.

It opened its doors with 25 students and a small number of teachers dedicated to the educational process involved in empowering the young women of Jordan. The School soon developed into an academic and cultural landmark that came to reflect the highest standards in Jordanian society.
