Payment of transportation fees for the full scholastic year is required before service is provided; transportation fees are non‑refundable for both semesters.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Published fee schedules are shown as annual school fees for the scholastic year; the school refers to "semesters" for certain policies (for example, transportation non‑refundability for both semesters). The published figures are annual amounts; the school's materials reference semester periods but do not publish a single standard per‑semester billing timetable in the public fee document. Semester figures in this overview are calculated as one‑half of the published annual tuition to match the school's use of "semesters".
- Sibling discounts published in the fee materials: 10% for the first sibling; 15% for the second sibling and above. A full‑fees payment discount is also referenced in the published materials.

Refund information

- Registration (JD 150) and the listed additional/enrichment fees are published as non‑refundable. Transportation fees are published as non‑refundable for both semesters. The published fee documents identify these non‑refundable items explicitly. The published schedule does not include a detailed line‑by‑line tuition refund formula in the publicly posted fee document.

Boarding fees

- No boarding or residential fees are listed in the school's published fee schedule; a boarding programme is not included among the programmes in the published materials.

Other costs (uniforms, exams, external charges)

- The published additional fees cover a range of consumables and subscriptions (enrichment programmes, field visits, yearbook, stationery and accident insurance). No single, fixed uniform charge is published in the main fee schedule. External exam fees (for IGCSE/A‑Level) and some programme‑specific charges (for example external assessment or exam registration) may be charged separately and are not aggregated into the generic annual tuition figure in the published schedule.

Fee payment options

- The published fee documents (annual fee schedule and registration booklet) present the fee amounts and payment‑related rules (for example non‑refundability and sibling discounts) but do not publish a definitive list of accepted payment methods (credit card, bank transfer, cheque, etc.) in the public fee schedule. Parents are directed to the school's admission/accounts contacts for the available payment methods and invoicing details.

Notes for clarity

- All amounts above are published in Jordanian Dinars (JD) in the school's fee schedule for the scholastic year. The figures used here are the school's published annual figures; semester figures shown above are calculated as one‑half of the annual amount to match the school's references to semesters in its policy text.

Admissions

Admissions
Step 1 – Registration and documents: Complete all registration procedures and submit the required documents. Local students provide a transfer letter from the previous school and the latest Ministry report card. Students coming from outside Jordan must have their last report card certified by the Ministry of Education / Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the country of origin, or by the Jordanian Embassy / Cultural Attaché in the country of origin; UK transcripts must be certified by the British Council in Amman, and US transcripts by AMIDEAST in Amman. Completing an application is not a guarantee of acceptance.

Step 2 – Entry tests and interviews: Admission is based on successful completion of entry tests and an interview with the Admissions Committee, division principals, and head of student affairs. The Admissions Committee also evaluates English and Arabic language proficiency, Learning Support needs, Disciplinary Records, and Availability of Seats. Completing the tests and interview does not guarantee acceptance. The assessments inform placement decisions and may influence the level of courses or electives.

Step 3 – Placement meetings: All candidates meet with the Admissions department, Division Principal, Academic Advisor, and/or Program Coordinators to guide the selection of appropriate course levels and electives. They consider prerequisites, course prerequisites, equivalency, and graduation requirements to ensure alignment with the chosen program (National, British, American, or BTEC) and language readiness. Staff communicate next steps and decisions after these meetings.

Step 4 – Language criteria and Learning Support: English is the primary language of instruction in the international programs. Students not proficient in English may be admitted if they can develop sufficient English proficiency to enter the American High School Diploma Program or the British National Curriculum. The Learning Support program provides English as a Second Language (ESL), Arabic as a Second Language (ASL), and Special Education Needs services. Parents must submit complete reports; admissions evaluations determine whether the school can meet the student's needs.

Scholarships
High Achievers Scholarship Program supports academic excellence through merit-based awards, financial assistance, tuition discounts, and incentives for outstanding performance. Scholarships are available for both National and International Programs and apply to Grades 9–12, with awards granted annually. The program emphasizes recognizing high achievement and reducing barriers to quality education. Scholarships are described as merit-based awards, financial support, and academic discounts.

A full academic scholarship is available in the Secondary Section from Grade 9 through Grade 12 for four consecutive years. Eligibility requires an average of 97% or above for the past two academic years, successful completion of admission exams in English, Arabic, and Mathematics, and a successful personal interview.
