The International Leaders Academy offers two curricular streams: the National Program aligned with the Jordanian curriculum and an International Program, with Kindergarten explicitly enrolling in both the national and foreign (international) systems. The Primary/Elementary and Middle School sections describe an interactive teaching approach and provide facilities to support learning across both programs. The International Section uses MAP testing to measure progress in math, science, reading, and language usage, with two assessments per year. The High School uses a formal Program of Studies handbook detailing the courses offered, and graduates may obtain Tawjihi equivalency for Jordanian university entry in lieu of the national Tawjihi exam. The school provides a College & Career Counselor in the High School to support post-secondary planning. Kindergarten features include dual enrollment in national and international programs, leadership development, Islamic identity, and French language instruction.

The school provides a Guidance program described as a life-skills initiative to develop students' communication and interpersonal skills and to strengthen self-concepts. The counselor engages with each student in a classroom setting and then builds individual relationships to provide additional emotional, academic, and social support. The counselor meets each class every other week for guidance, combining small-group and individual sessions. The Guidance program embeds ILA values of Respect, Honesty, Cooperation, Responsibility, and Positivity across activities such as friendships, community involvement, bullying prevention, cyberbullying, effective group work, leadership, and transitions to middle school. These elements collectively support social and emotional learning (SEL) within the school.

The school operates an Intervention and Learning Support program for students with mild learning difficulties that interfere with classroom performance and who are at risk of not meeting grade-level standards. The program is implemented by classroom teachers, instructional assistants, and specialist support services teachers, with differentiated instruction to help students become independent learners. Students may be supported in-class or out-of-class, individually or in small groups. Placement in the program follows a referral process and results in an intervention plan or an individual support plan tailored to each student's needs. Progress is typically reviewed every six weeks, and some students may exit the program after six weeks if sufficient progress is made. The school is not described as a specialist SEN institution.

The English as a Foreign Language (EFL) program supports students in acquiring and developing the four essential language skills—speaking, listening, reading, and writing—through a comprehensive, multi-strategy approach. EFL teachers work closely with classroom teachers to assess and monitor language acquisition and to support progress in content areas, using a co-teaching model to maximize learning. Students may be identified for EFL at admission or during the year via a referral process and standardized assessments. Services offered may include pre-literacy skills, listening comprehension, oral expression, vocabulary, grammar, word study, guided reading groups, and reading/writing workshops. When ready to exit the EFL program, recent assessments and classroom performance are reviewed to inform the exit decision. The program also recognizes the importance of students' home language and culture.

Mental wellbeing is supported through the Guidance program, which provides emotional, academic, and social support as part of a life-skills framework. The counselor engages with students in a classroom setting and offers individual and group guidance to promote healthy self-concepts and resilience. The program is designed to help students develop coping strategies, social skills, and positive relationships, consistent with the SEL focus of the school. It also reinforces core school values (respect, honesty, cooperation, responsibility, and positivity) in activities related to friendships, community involvement, bullying prevention, and leadership.

The school does not publicly disclose information regarding safeguarding and child protection policies. The School Clinics page confirms a health-services setup with a doctor and a dentist overseeing decently equipped clinics, offering first aid, regular health check-ups, sick leaves, vaccinations, and health education, all of which contribute to student safety and well-being.

Step 1 — Registration window and initial enrollment: Registration of old students and registration of new students begins at the start of the second semester. This applies to both returning students and new applicants. The academy communicates with families by phone, SMS, website and e-mail, and via Facebook to share registration updates and instructions.

Step 2 — Admissions decision and placement: Applicants are approved for admission after being interviewed by specialists and after an entrance examination is conducted. The admissions process uses placement assessments to determine the appropriate entry level. Placement exams for new students assess Math and English, with an optional Arabic section; language exams in Arabic and French evaluate placement in language courses once admitted to the International Section.

Step 3 — Required papers and documentation: The registration process requires several documents: a transfer certificate certified by the Directorate of Education from the school of origin, an authenticated birth certificate, the last school certificate authenticated to regulations, and the original vaccination card for kindergarten and first grade. Four personal photos are required for kindergarten and first grade. For KG, a copy of the family book is required; for Gaza Strip children, a copy of the passport is required; a letter from private education approves admission for non-Jordanians arriving from outside Jordan.

Step 4 — Fees and payment terms: The registration fee for a new student in the current academic year is 300 JD and is calculated within the school tuition. If withdrawal or cancellation occurs due to missing papers or if registration is canceled, the registration is not refundable. Families are informed of updates via phone, SMS, website/e-mail, and Facebook during the registration process.

Step 5 — Grade placement and age requirements: A child is accepted into Pr-KG if they are three years old, into KG1 if they complete the fourth year, into KG2 if they complete the fifth year, and into the first primary grade if they complete the sixth year by 12/31. For non-Jordanians, admission requires a private education approval letter.
