Who we are

In 1994, God brought together three expatriate families with children in kindergarten through 6th grade, with an experienced, certified, American teacher. These families had a vision for quality, Christian educational opportunities for their English speaking TCK children. They wanted them to experience creative, hands-on learning and have opportunities for servant leadership that would mould the hearts of their children to want to make a difference in the world. This vision is the foundation for all programming at Whitman Academy. Today, Whitman Academy has expanded to a body of 239 students from grades 1-12 from over 22 different countries.

Student body

Whitman Academy welcomes children from all cultural backgrounds. The multinational atmosphere stimulates greater understanding and compassion for all individuals and fosters a global perspective in the students. The school was originally founded to serve the educational needs of Christian expatriates who have come to Jordan in service capacities or as language students; therefore enrollment priority is given to these children.
