Online School & Homeschool in Aqaba

Online school and international curriculum in Aqaba

For Aqaba families — the country's only port and its economic zone, four hours from the capital's schools.

Live online Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A-Level, Pearson Edexcel International, IB Diploma Programme, and American Curriculum with Advanced Placement (AP) for Aqaba families. The Red Sea city is Jordan's sole port, a special economic zone with its own investment and logistics regime, and a diving and tourism economy that draws visitors and operators from across Europe and the Gulf. It is a genuinely international working community, and Amman's school tier is four hours north. Live delivery reaches Aqaba identically — and because Jordan sits on exactly our teaching clock, a family here can take classes at whatever hour their week allows.

Challenges Aqaba families face

International schooling is concentrated in Amman, four hours north.
A port, logistics and tourism economy with an internationally mobile workforce.
Seasonal tourism patterns that shape household schedules.
We could not verify Jordan's position on parental home education.
Time zone: none — Jordan and our teaching base both run UTC+3 year-round.

Why Aqaba families choose Smartious

The complete option four hours from the tier: Identical live delivery in Aqaba and Amman — no relocation and no boarding decision.
Marine and environmental science that fit the place: The Red Sea reef and the Rum desert make unusually serious ground for Cambridge Biology and Geography and AP Environmental Science.
Business and economics for a port and zone economy: Cambridge A-Level Economics, Business and Mathematics suit the families who run Jordan's trade gateway.
Exactly your clock, all year: Zero offset with no seasonal drift, so the timetable fits around a working household rather than the other way round.
Fees that behave predictably: The dinar's dollar peg means USD-quoted fees carry effectively no exchange-rate risk.

The national picture applies in Aqaba: basic education is compulsory and administered by the Ministry of Education, private schools operate with Ministry licensing, and we could not verify Jordan's position on parental home education against a primary instrument. We decline to characterise it as either permission or prohibition, and would send any family whose plan depends on it to the Ministry directly. Smartious is not a Ministry-licensed Jordanian school, issues no Jordanian qualification and does not teach toward the Tawjihi — our arrangement is live international teaching alongside a Jordanian school enrolment.

Smartious delivers to Aqaba families online; the live programme is complete without in-person supplementation.

Live online via Smartious LMS on exactly Jordan's clock with no offset at all, and every session recorded — which suits a tourism economy with seasonal peaks.

Aqaba is Jordan's sole port, a special economic zone with its own investment regime, and a Red Sea diving and tourism economy of international standing — a genuinely international working community four hours south of Amman's school tier. Jordan runs UTC+3 year-round, exactly our teaching clock.
