I would like to know if anyone has or have considered online schools for children in Amman? If so, could you please share your experience and name of the program/school you used.

elaine123

JO/EU yes your right again :) but some kids aren't that lucky and are thrown into it. In my opinion this is not fair, but maybe a necessary evil. The psychological impact could be devastating. My child will take courses over the summer. ... Read More

Primadonna, I think it is a Jordanian requirement that all students be taught these subjects in Arabic. If a child does not know or understand the language, they will fail that subject. Read More

You are so right! Anyone living in a foreign country should attempt to learn the language. It should be a requirement everywhere. It just becomes a problem when older students are uprooted and taken to a different country that requires them to be ... Read More

Primadonna, just to clarify, in the USA, online schools are becoming more popular for many reasons, but it is easy to confuse with homeschooling. Both have a curriculum that must be followed and students are tested by the state/government standards. ... Read More

It is very common in America for parents in my community to home school. I'm from a small Christian Community with many educated parents (teachers themselves). They must have a mentality of protecting their offspring from the real world or maybe ... Read More
