The Grade 11 Global Politics class and the 2016 I"MUN Team visited a Makani Centre in the Baqaa Refugee Camp. The students had the opportunity to witness the services provided by UNICEF to Syrian child refugees in Jordan and develop an understanding of the challenges faced by refugees in Jordan. As part of the I"MUN legacy, IAA also donated food and non-food parcels to 50 vulnerable Syrian families.

College/Career Couseling -

The IAA Career Day was a resounding success! Local representatives from 30 professions attended the event, speaking with Grades 9-10 students about opportunities within their respective fields. Doctors, lawyers, engineers, event managers, journalists, pharmacists, fashion designers, and many more offered their wisdom and guidance. This bustling event began with an inspiring key note speech from Ms Nadine Toukan, Executive Producer of the award-winning Jordanian film, THEEB. Ms Toukan spoke eloquently about smashing stereotypes, having courage and supporting the people of Jordan. Many professional IAA parents participated as well, generously volunteering their time to support our students and their plans for the future. A very inspiring day for all! Thank you to Ms Toukan, our parents, and all the professionals who made this day possible.

Science Fair Begins!

Education -

The IAA Primary Science Fair has begun! This event represents the culmination of not only hard work, but also a firm grasp of the scientific method, its application and its rigor. The IAA Fair is skilfully designed to introduce students to the concepts of the method quite early in the Primary, expanding their understanding each year and increasing their autonomy as they move up the grade levels. The scientific method is an important tool of knowledge acquisition and scientific innovation. The projects, with the support of both parents and teachers, allow students to not only exercise their logic and creativity, but also to challenge themselves with a practical exercise in hands-on experimentation.
