Amman, May 27 (Petra) — Baccalaureate School (ABS) is proud to announce its successful re-accreditation through the IB and NEASC Collaborative Learning Protocol (CLP), becoming the first school in Jordan to achieve this milestone.

Founded in 1981 by Their Royal Highnesses Prince El Hassan bin Talal and Princess Sarvath El Hassan, ABS has consistently led the way in educational innovation, combining global standards with deep-rooted values. This latest achievement is a continuation of that pioneering legacy.

The CLP is a progressive model designed to promote transformational learning, student agency and continuous institutional growth. The joint International Baccalaureate (IB) and New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) evaluation team praised ABS for its strategic vision, inclusive leadership, culture of feedback, and unwavering commitment to student well-being and voice.

ABS’s long list of educational firsts includes being the first school in Jordan to offer the IB Diploma Program, the first bilingual IB school, and the first in the region to be authorized for the full IB continuum: Primary Years Program (PYP), Middle Years Program (MYP), Diploma Program (DP) and Career-related Program (CP).

Chairman of the Board of Trustees, HRH Princess Sumaya bint El Hassan, expressed her appreciation to the entire ABS community: “This re-accreditation is more than a procedural milestone. It is a reflection of who we are and how far we have come as a community of learners, educators and families. My heartfelt thanks to all who contributed to this success. Alf Mabrouk – this is a proud moment for Jordan and for ABS.”

The school recognizes the leadership of Principal Fiyaz Ahmed, as well as Vice Principals Cathy Souob and Dima Azzam Qubain, Senior Director of Studies Gavin Sourgen, and IB Coordinators Jwan Kolaghassi, Haia Al-Afaghany and Nermin Abu Assaf, along with the entire ABS staff, students and families.
