King's Academy
King's Academy (Arabic transliteration: "كينغز أكاديمي") is an independent, co-educational boarding and day school for students in grades 7 to 12 in Madaba-Manja, Jordan. It is named in honor of King Abdullah II of Jordan and seeks to fulfill His Majesty's vision of producing "a new generation of enlightened and creative minds."
King Abdullah attended high school at Deerfield Academy in the United States as there was no school of comparable standing in Jordan when he was a boy, but his son Crown Prince Hussein enrolled in the new school's second incoming class (2008). The school's first headmaster, Dr. Eric Widmer, was a past headmaster of Deerfield.
The primary language of instruction at King's Academy is English. Both Arabic-speaking and non-Arabic-speaking students are required to study Arabic. The academy is a member of the G30 Schools group.
The school is included in The Schools Index as one of the 150 best private schools in the world and among top 15 schools in the Middle East.
The campus and buildings are constructed on a 575-dunum (144-acre) site and comprise some 35 major buildings.
The athletic facilities include a semi-Olympic swimming pool, tennis court, squash court, handball, and basketball courts, and cardio and weight training facilities. There is also an outdoor sports stadium that includes a full-size football field, two additional football fields, and a track.
The King Abdullah II Spiritual Center is a multi-faith spiritual center that is available for use to all members of the school community, regardless of their faith. Both the indoor prayer room and the open-air courtyard are available for use at all times by students, faculty, staff, and campus visitors.
The Abdul Majeed Shoman Auditorium holds around 200 people and is the location of both school and community events including concerts, student recitals, plays, and dance performances. Students and faculty members gather here for weekly school meetings.
