The Amman Baccalaureate School
Appointment of Principal
One of the leading schools in the Middle East, the Amman Baccalaureate School (ABS) is a pioneering, bilingual IB World School with a rich heritage and impressive reputation for innovation. Situated in vibrant Western Amman, the ABS blends Arab heritage with internationalism, offering a first-class, holistic education to 1175 students aged 4 to 18. The ABS was the first school in the world to be accredited under the new rigorous CIS International protocol and is at the forefront of new developments within Round Square.
The Board of Trustees, chaired by HRH Princess Sarvath El Hassan, now seek an outstanding Principal to succeed Stuart Bryan who will step down in summer 2019 after 10 years of exceptional service. This is an exciting opportunity to shape the future of an already high performing school and further strengthen the ABS’ position as an agenda-setting school in the fast-changing world of international education.
The next Principal will combine a track record of successful leadership experience with the cultural sensitivity and global perspective to inspire a dynamic international school. The appointed candidate will have the political acuity to lead an organisation at the heart of the community in Amman, and the personal authority, gravitas and authenticity to engage multiple influential stakeholders nationally and internationally. A sense of adventure and high levels of resilience and flexibility are essential, as is a genuine commitment to ABS’ vision and mission.

The Amman Baccalaureate School (ABS) is a private, fee-paying day school, licensed by the Jordanian Ministry of Education. It is coeducational and prepares its students for the International Baccalaureate Diploma and Career-related Programme and courses as school leaving qualifications. In addition to providing an academic education of high quality, the school attaches considerable importance to creative, physical and community service activities, and offers a wide and developing range of facilities and opportunities in these areas.
ABS was founded in 1981 with the aim of providing a bilingual education that would meet, in quality and breadth, the highest international standards, whilst remaining firmly rooted in the Arab heritage. At the same time, the school has increasingly attracted students from the international community who wish to take advantage of the opportunity offered in the Middle Years School (MYP) and the IB College (Diploma Programme/Career-related Programme) to pursue an education in English that, nonetheless, sustains close contact with the culture of the host country.
The Amman Baccalaureate School is a school where modern educational theory and practice are implemented and enthusiastically embraced. In its officially recognised role as a 'pioneer school', ABS pilots new material, methods and approaches, and so paves the way for other schools to follow. Emphasis on bilingualism at every stage promotes knowledge of different cultures, traditions and values, and this fosters openness, understanding and tolerance.
The ABS has a unique curriculum model for a bilingual (Arabic/English) Primary Years Programme (PYP) and is amongst a select few schools worldwide to offer all four IB Programmes (PYP, MYP, DP, CP)
