Inclusion
Blind, low-vision and sighted students learn, play and grow together — the very design of our school, not an afterthought.
Who We Are
Mission, vision & values
Everything at AES flows from one conviction — that every child, with or without sight, belongs in the same school.
Our Mission
Why AES exists
Our mission has three simple parts — presence, integration and opportunity:
- Serving northern Jordan as a presence of the Arab Episcopal Church.
- Integrating blind and low-vision students with sighted students.
- Providing all students with the best educational and social opportunities.
We develop each student’s academic capability and their character through a peace education built on democracy, respect for human rights, an emphasis on volunteer work, and being good stewards of the environment.

Our Values
What we stand for
Peace Education
Democracy and dignity practised daily in the classroom and the playground.
Human Rights
Respect for every person’s rights and worth — a lesson lived out among us.
Volunteer Work
A culture of serving others, from students to families to visitors from abroad.
Stewardship
Good stewardship of the environment — best seen in our solar panels and daily habits.
Character
We develop not only academics but the heart — honesty, kindness and responsibility.
Our Vision
A model of inclusion for the whole region
We dream of an integrated school — and a Braille-literate local community — that shows what happens when every child is given the chance to learn together. Already home to blind, low-vision and sighted students, we want our model to inspire schools across Jordan and beyond.
