Online School & Homeschool in Zarqa & the Industrial Belt
Online school and international curriculum in Zarqa
For Zarqa and industrial-belt families — the refinery and manufacturing heartland, half an hour from Amman and a world from its schools.
Live online Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge A-Level, Pearson Edexcel International, IB Diploma Programme, and American Curriculum with Advanced Placement (AP) for Zarqa and industrial-belt families. Zarqa carries Jordan's industrial economy — the refinery, chemicals, manufacturing and the free zones around them — and is one of the country's largest population centres, yet its international provision is close to non-existent. Amman is half an hour away and its school tier is priced for a different market. For engineering and technical households here, the answer is not relocation but live delivery, on a clock that has no offset at all.
Challenges Zarqa & the Industrial Belt families face
- Almost no international provision in one of Jordan's largest population centres.
- Amman's tier is close by but priced for a different market.
- Technical and engineering households wanting 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 Zarqa & the Industrial Belt families choose Smartious
- Chemistry and process engineering depth: Cambridge A-Level Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics suit a refinery and chemicals belt precisely.
- A fee gap that matters here more than most: Amman is thirty minutes away and its international fees are set for a different market. Live small-group teaching from USD 5,076 a year is reachable.
- Exactly your clock, all year: Zero offset with no seasonal drift, so classes fit around industrial shift patterns rather than fighting them.
- Every session recorded: A missed class on a shift week is never a lost one.
- Arabic kept as an examined subject: Cambridge Arabic runs alongside the English-medium core.
The national picture applies in Zarqa: 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 read that silence in either direction and would send families to the Ministry. 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 industrial-belt 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 — built for shift patterns.

Jordan runs UTC+3 year-round, exactly our teaching clock.

Common questions from Zarqa & the Industrial Belt families
Amman is only half an hour away — why not just enrol there?
Distance is not the constraint here; price is. Amman's international fees are set at the top of the regional market. Live small-group teaching toward the same Cambridge examinations is a different proposition financially.
Our child wants chemical engineering — what should they take?
Cambridge A-Level Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics, planned backward from the target university from IGCSE onward.
