A call to action! Last year the board approved new foundational documents for our institution (Mission, Vision, Values) and now the Student Profile needs to be retooled in light of those statements. What’s more, Learning 2030 has identified defining school-wide competencies as an important next step in our evolution. The two will now become one… our student profile will reflect the competencies we wish to develop in all of our students, no matter the age. Want to give input for the future competencies at ACS? Please click here to express your interest to attend a half-day event on campus on Saturday, November 15th (9:00 am - 12:00 pm). The planning team will select 6 - 8 parents across all three sections to participate in this important event once the survey closes on October 27th.
Have a wonderful fall break and see everyone back on campus on Sunday, October 26th at 8:00 am! Please find the campus access hours in the all-school section below.

SAISA Girls Volleyball is Coming to ACS!
We are proud to announce that ACS Amman will host the SAISA Girls Volleyball Tournament from October 30 – November 1, 2025. This is a very special moment for our school community as we welcome student-athletes and coaches from across the SAISA region right here on our campus.
Why This Matters
Hosting SAISA gives our girls’ team the home-court advantage and the chance to play in front of their friends, family, and teachers.
It’s also an opportunity for our entire community to show what Scorpion Pride is all about—hospitality, spirit, and sportsmanship.

Come Cheer: Pack the stands, wear your ACS gear, and bring the energy to every game.
Volunteer: Opportunities are available to help and support visiting teams - click here to access the volunteer opportunities.
Spread the Word: Encourage family and friends to attend and make it a weekend of celebration.
