Educate your children,

Discovery
& Growth

At Amman Baccalaureate School, legacy is more than just history—it is the lasting impact we create through education, leadership, and innovation. Since our founding in 1981, we have remained committed to academic excellence, holistic development, and global citizenship. The ABS legacy lives on through our graduates, pioneering programs, and contributions to education in Jordan and beyond.

ABS was founded with a bold vision: to offer a world-class, bilingual education that prepares students to become confident, responsible, and ethical leaders. Under the patronage of HRH Princess Sarvath El Hassan, ABS became a trailblazer in international education, pioneering the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in Jordan and setting new standards in learning.

Over the years, we have expanded our academic programs, campus facilities, and extracurricular offerings, all while staying true to our mission of nurturing well-rounded individuals who contribute to society. Today, ABS stands as a leading IB World School, recognized for its academic rigor, innovation, and commitment to excellence.
