The School of Life in Amman, Jordan

[kabdurr]

My family and I are thinking of moving to Amman, Jordan and were looking at The School of Life. I've seen bad reviews thus far but they all seem to be talking about the same incident. Does anyone have actual experience with this school and anyone know what their benefits package includes (ie. flights for dependants, amount for housing allowance etc)? Thanks in advance.

I have Jordanian friends who send their daughter to this school and are quite happy with it. They told me that it is improving and changing its image. The poor review on this site is probably outdated. I believe the school is trying to be more international and hiring more teachers from abroad (though a look at their website suggests most are still local). I don't know anything about the pay or benefits, but my friend thinks it is significantly higher for foreign hire teachers. My friends liked the fact that it was an affordable private school that attracts bright students from a wider range of social classes.
