    • 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.
