King’s Academy is the only school in the Middle East to host the prestigious i2 Camp. This US-based program offers students who will be entering 7th, 8th and 9th grades a series of innovative one-week courses, blending science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). The intimate hands-on activities of the courses strive to excite and inspire campers about STEM, creating enthusiasm that will spill over to their schoolwork and school choices in future years. The i2 curriculum was developed through partnerships with world class STEM organizations such as MIT, the Museum of Science in Boston and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories. Faculty will be excellent science teachers from the United States and Jordan, assisted by university and college students as well as King’s Academy graduates.
