Spring 2021
Working together, staying safe
In these uncertain times, and in response to the changing epidemiological situation in Jordan, a campus Green Zone is the best path to certainty…and safety.
To overcome the instability of pivoting between in-person and online learning, the Green Zone establishes a safe and stable environment for our Upper School by reducing travel to and from campus to a minimum, thereby significantly reducing risk of contact with the virus. By providing continuity for in-person learning, students can enjoy the full King’s Academy experience.
Objectives
When King’s opened the 2020-2021 academic year with social distancing measures, the reopening plan centered on two core objectives: protecting the health and safety of our students and employees, and providing the strongest possible learning experiences. These objectives remain at the heart of the Green Zone model, which also maintains the integrity of the boarding experience.
Message from the Head of School
“While much of the world moved online, King’s students sustained hands-on, collaborative, project-based, and seminar-style learning.”
Thus King’s is able to offer students a measure of relative normalcy — attending classes in person and taking part in activities with their peers — while still ensuring national and international guidelines to prevent the spread of disease are implemented.
