IGCSE/GCE, IAL
The IGCSE / GCE / IAL programmes are based on British educational systems and are recognized and endorsed by Cambridge University and London University.
It is the programme implemented in British schools and in international schools worldwide in both the Literary and Scientific streams.
This programme allows students to choose the topics they wish to study from both streams according to the admissions criteria of different universities.
The programme is recognized by the Jordanian Ministry of Education and is equal to the Jordanian Tawjihi Certificate.
However, the Ministry has set the minimum of a four years programme and the completion of certain mandatory subjects in order to recognize the student's certificate.
The programme is constantly monitored by Cambridge University and London University; a group of inspectors visit all the schools that teach the programme in order to review the quality of the instruction provided, and the improvements made by the school or learning center.
The programme consists of two levels; Ordinary (O- level/ IGCSE) and International Advanced Level (IAL/ GCE).
The International General Certificate of Secondary Education and the General Certificate of Education are conducted by Cambridge University and University of London. Both levels qualify students to enter Jordanian Universities.
The programme is completed in four years of study; two years at the Ordinary level (O- level/ IGCSE) in grades 9 and 10, then another two years of International Advanced Level (IAL/ GCE) in grades 11 and 12. During the first two years of the programme, grades 9 and 10, students must successfully complete six O- level subjects and in grades 10 and 11 two full A-level courses.
JIS offers the following courses for grades 9-12 in addition to the standard courses set by The Jordanian Ministry of Education. Other courses are also offered at different times throughout the year according to the interests of the students.
