The IIS curriculum is guided by the values and beliefs embedded in the school’s mission and vision in which we cater for the needs of all our students. Our curriculum is developed through collaborative planning which is based on the Common Core Standards and the Ministry of Education (Jordan) curricula. The school has an established curriculum review, development and implementation cycle. Curriculum maps are developed with corresponding unit plans. Alignment is found in the maps, unit plans, lesson plans as well as the assessments. Topics and instructional strategies strive for maximum student engagement in the learning process. Project based learning as well as cooperative learning permit individual students to investigate in depth related and relevant topics of interest.
