New English School

The New English School (NES) is a bilingual school located in Amman, Jordan, teaching A-levels and International GCSE. NES is divided into four main sections: KinderGarten, Primary School, Middle School and Secondary Department. Students graduate at the end of Grade 12. Based on the British system, students of the Senior School, in Grades 9 and 10, follow syllabuses laid down in a range of subjects by Cambridge International Examinations, preparing them for International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) examinations, and by the University of London, preparing for O Levels. The IGCSE is the international equivalent of GCSE examinations taken by students in schools in England and Wales at age 16 and above. These examinations are set, moderated and marked by the examining boards of the universities. The student program at this level includes compulsory study and examination of English Language, Mathematics, Arabic, Religion, Information Technology and Physical Education together with five further subjects chosen from a range including Physics, Biology, Chemistry, English Literature, French, Economics, Business Studies, Computer Studies, Child Development, Drama and Art. Most of the students from this school proceed to attend universities in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and Jordan, while a small number proceed to study in Lebanese universities.
