"If your child is in secondary it seems a lot better. More expat teachers and the kids speak English. If your child is between 6&11, good luck! The kids don't mix well, they fight alot and their English is poor, also you have no support. Personally I would run for the hills...or do what a friend of mine has done, and home school. The school seems to be on the up, but let's face it, it can't get worse! Sorry for the negativity peeps, but I wish I could've read a truthful review before we came. At least we would've been a little more prepared," commented one expat when asked about Aqaba International School in Aqaba.
