Curriculum
The Abdul Hamid Sharaf School teaches three different sets of curriculum.
An American curriculum is taught which prepares students to write the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and the Scholastic Aptitude Subject Tests (SAT II). This curriculum is aimed at the students who are from the United States and plan to return there for their post-secondary education. Although completion of the SAT stream and passing marks in the SAT and 6 SAT II tests is recognized by Jordanian universities as proof of secondary education it is not looked favorablly upon.
The International General Certificate of Seconday Education (IGCSE) curriculum is also taught. This prepares students for the O level and A level exams which are internationally recognized as proof of secondary education. Passing marks in the O and A level exams are recognized as completion of secondary education by most Jordanian Universities. This stream is often chosen by students who plan to continute into post-secondary education outside of Jordan or in a Jordanian university which teaches in English.
Finally, A.H.S.S. teaches the Tawjihi curriculum. Tawjihi is the national Jordanian curriculum and it prepares students to write the Tawjihi exams in their final year of schooling. This stream is taught entirely in Arabic, as the exams are in Arabic, and targets the students whose first languages are Arabic and who plan to study in Jordanian post-secondary institutions.
