Mada International Academy operates three campuses in Amman: Mada 1 (Kindergarten–Grade 7) on the national curriculum, and Mada 2 and Mada 3 (Kindergarten–Grade 12) offering both the national program and international options. The International Program uses English as the language of instruction across subjects, with Arabic used for MOE-mandated Arabic/Islamic subjects; the National Program uses Arabic as the primary medium, with English taught in sciences, mathematics, ICT, and life skills. In Primary (Grades 1–5), families choose between the National Program (Arabic-medium) and the Cambridge Primary Program (CP; English-medium with Arabic, Religion, and National Education exceptions). In Middle School (Grades 6–8), Mada offers Cambridge Lower Secondary alongside the National Program, with English-taught core subjects in the international track and MOE subjects in the national track. In Senior School (Grades 9–12), the National Program is currently offered, strengthened by internationally accredited supplementary curricula in English, sciences, mathematics, ICT, and life skills to support university preparation; Mada holds Cambridge accreditation for CP and Lower Secondary and aligns with Jordanian Tawjihi equivalency.

Mada International Academy places a strong emphasis on social and emotional growth as part of its holistic development. The School Principal states high expectations for academic, social, and emotional growth and notes efforts to develop student leadership and a culture of caring. Life Skills, including Road to Success, ProtectEd, and Tafawwaq, build self-esteem and communication skills, with Daily 10-Minute Activities reinforcing this work. ProtectEd is a Canadian safety program taught in English that covers personal safety, ethics, bullying, internet safety, and personal/mental well-being. Scouts is a weekly activity that fosters social skills, teamwork, leadership, and confidence, and Mada's Kindergarten program emphasizes emotional development through play and hands-on activities.

Public information does not describe any dedicated SEN provision, SEN staff, or an inclusion department. The National and International Programs are described, including Life Skills, but SEN-specific interventions are not detailed. English-language instruction is a key feature of the International Program, with Arabic used for mandated subjects, but a dedicated SEN framework is not disclosed. The Kindergarten program describes language streams but does not mention SEN services. As a result, SEN provision is not publicly disclosed in Mada's available materials.

Mada uses bilingual curricula with English as the predominant language of instruction. In the International Program, English remains the medium across subjects, while Arabic is used for mandated Arabic language and Islamic Studies. The Cambridge Primary Program is delivered in English, with Arabic and Religion taught in Arabic in line with program offerings. In the National Program for Grades 9–12, English-language supplementary curricula and Life Skills are included. There is no publicly disclosed separate EAL staff or program beyond the bilingual framework.

Life Skills explicitly supports mental wellbeing as part of social-emotional development. ProtectEd is taught in English to all students and covers personal safety, ethics, bullying, internet safety, and personal/mental well-being. Daily 10-minute Activities provide regular opportunities to develop self-awareness, responsibility, critical thinking, and communication. Scouts weekly sessions foster social skills, teamwork, leadership, and confidence. The Kindergarten program also emphasizes emotional development through play and hands-on activities.

ProtectEd is a Canadian school-safety program taught in English to all Mada students. ProtectEd covers personal safety, ethics, bullying, internet safety, and personal/mental well-being. Mada states it is dedicated to creating a safe and supportive learning environment that nurtures belonging and confidence. Life Skills supports safeguarding through its activities and the Scouts program, which foster social skills, teamwork, leadership, and responsible behavior. Together, these initiatives form Mada's safeguarding framework alongside the school's broader wellbeing efforts.

Step 1 – Submit the completed application: Parents or guardians fill out a full application and hand it in for review. The form should be complete with current contact details so the admissions team can reach you promptly. After submission, a review determines the appropriate next steps in the admissions process. All applicants undergo an initial assessment as part of the process to identify language needs.

Step 2 – Attend the interview: An interview is conducted to ensure the student is ready to join Mada International Academy. The interview evaluates personality, language abilities, and motivation. This step helps the school understand how the student may adapt to the school environment.

Step 3 – Submit required documents: The completed school registration form should be submitted together with the required documents. Documentation requirements vary by grade: for KG and Grade 1, provide a notarized birth certificate, the family book (first page showing Father, Mother, and Student), two photos of the child, and a copy of the vaccination certificate. For remaining classes, provide a notarized birth certificate, family book, vaccination copy, passport copy for non-Jordanians, notarized transcript from the previous school, the last report card, Ministry of Education records, and a residence permit for non-Jordanians.

Step 4 – Take the admission test: Students take an admission test that assesses English, mathematics, and Arabic.

All admitted students undergo language and other skill assessments as part of the multi-step process.

Step 5 – Pay registration fees and finalize submission: The registration fees must be paid and the required documents submitted to complete enrollment.
