Online School & Homeschool in Irbid & the North
Online school and international curriculum in Irbid
For Irbid and northern families — a university city with medical and engineering ambitions, and almost no international schooling.
Live online Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A-Level, Pearson Edexcel International, IB Diploma Programme, and American Curriculum with Advanced Placement (AP) for Irbid and northern Jordanian families. Irbid is the country's university city — Yarmouk University and the Jordan University of Science and Technology between them give the north a medical and engineering academic culture that few regional cities match, and one of the youngest populations in Jordan. Academic ambition here is high and international schooling is thin, with the tier concentrated in Amman an hour and a half south. We teach Cambridge and IB live across the north, at whatever hour suits.
Challenges Irbid & the North families face
- Thin international provision in a city with a strong academic culture.
- Amman's tier is an hour and a half south.
- Medical and engineering ambitions requiring specific A-Level subject sets.
- 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 Irbid & the North families choose Smartious
- Pre-medical depth for a medical university city: Cambridge A-Level Biology and Chemistry with Mathematics — the classic spine, and one Irbid families aim at in numbers given the city's medical faculties.
- Engineering depth alongside: Cambridge A-Level Mathematics, Further Mathematics and Physics — led by a founder with a BEd in Mathematics and Physics.
- The complete option outside the capital: Identical live delivery in Irbid and Amman, without relocating.
- Exactly your clock, all year: Zero offset with no seasonal drift — an academic household can build the week it wants.
- Arabic kept as an examined subject: Cambridge Arabic runs alongside the English-medium core.
The national picture applies in the north: 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 — a silence we decline to read in either direction. Confirm with 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, which for an academically ambitious household is usually the configuration they wanted anyway.
Smartious delivers to northern 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.
Irbid is Jordan's university city — Yarmouk University and the Jordan University of Science and Technology give the north a medical and engineering academic culture few regional cities match, alongside one of the youngest populations in the country — with thin international provision and the tier concentrated in Amman. Jordan runs UTC+3 year-round, exactly our teaching clock.

Common questions from Irbid & the North families
Our child is aiming at medicine — what should they take?
Cambridge A-Level Biology and Chemistry with Mathematics form the classic spine, planned backward from the target university from IGCSE onward. It is the most common request we receive from this city.
Is there international schooling in Irbid?
Thin, with the tier concentrated in Amman an hour and a half south. Live delivery reaches the whole north identically.
