Introduction

The Islamic Educational College (IEC) Schools in Amman offer multiple curricula across two campuses, serving students from early years through to pre-university levels. IEC runs a National Program aligned to the Jordanian Ministry of Education (Tawjihi) and separate Boys and Girls schools for Grades 5–12, plus specialist programs including the British IGCSE-IAL, American AHSD, and the International Baccalaureate (PYP, MYP, DP) as part of IEC's multi-program model. The college also runs a BTEC program and a thriving range of extra-curriculars, including a broad student clubs program and community-service activities. Kindergarten programs operate at both Jabal Amman and Jubeiha, with KG1–KG2 available, and the schools emphasize project-based and inquiry learning, leadership development, and emphasis on both Islamic and wider educational values. The campuses host a variety of facilities (libraries, laboratories, theatres, mosques) and support university and career guidance through dedicated teams. Substantial student life activities include academic competitions, field trips, and a large and active clubs program (over two decades of activity).
