As per the guidelines of the Jordanian Ministry of Education, Jordanian Muslim students are required to take Islamic Studies.
Jordanian Muslim students who hold a second passport may request a waiver from Islamic Studies if and only if they do not want to pursue the Tawjihi equivalency. In case they need the equivalency, then they must take courses in Islamic Studies.
For non-Jordanian Muslim students, Islamic Studies might be a requirement at their home country. Therefore, families need to check with the education authorities of their home countries, or their embassies and consulates for Islamic Studies requirements.
For students entering King’s Academy in their sophomore, junior or senior years, the graduation requirements are pro-rated and are listed in the curriculum plan.
