About the school
| Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
The Amman Baccalaureate School is a non-profit IB World School, bilingual, coeducational day school for grades K-12. It offers an academically rigorous programme which, while remaining firmly rooted in the Arab heritage and culture, aspires to meet the highest international standards. The Amman Baccalaureate School welcomes students of all nationalities and backgrounds whose academic aptitude is suited to the education it offers. The International Section at the Amman Baccalaureate School was initiated in August 2010 for students in Grades 6 – 12, who do not have the level of Arabic to cope with an ABS bilingual education but wish to benefit from the outstanding educational experience that ABS offers. |
| Teaching approach of the school |
ABS is recognised as a leading pioneer school in the region for fostering a stimulating learning environment based upon the International Baccalaureate philosophy and enhanced by appropriate educational technologies and a rigorous differentiated curriculum. |
