What is the American High School Diploma?<\/strong><\/h3>

The\u00a0American High School\u00a0Diploma (AHSD)\u00a0is a school leaving qualification awarded upon high school graduation. The high school diploma is typically obtained after a course of study lasting four years, from grade 9 to grade 12 where the officially enrolled students in this program must satisfy certain requirements (credits and external exams) to obtain the certificate and the local equivalency duly.<\/p>

What are the assessments the <\/strong>(AHSD)<\/strong>\u00a0students can take at Al Ittihad International School?<\/strong><\/h3>

Al Ittihad follows rigid and comprehensive framework to cover the requirements of the American High School Diploma in conformity with the Jordanian MOE and in alignment with the international accreditation agency Cognia which accredited our school in 2021.<\/p>

All the students earn credits in the main subject areas, namely Mathematics\u00a0(Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, and\/or Calculus), English Language & Literature, Sciences\u00a0(Biology, Chemistry, and\/or Physics),\u00a0Social Studies, Arabic Language, Jordan History, and Islamic Education.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Thus, the students in the American High School Diploma Program at Al Ittihad are expected to sit for the following international assessments whether for the sake of assessment or obtain their local equivalency and apply for the global universities outside Jordan:\u00a0<\/p>

ACT International Subject Tests<\/strong> are end-of-course assessments that rigorously measure students\u2019 understanding of content and practices in each subject. Tests are available in the following subjects: ELA (English 1 and 2), Math (Math 1 and 2), Science (Biology, Chemistry, and Physics) and U.S. History \/ World History. The score is out of 36.<\/p>

The ACT 1 or ACT General<\/strong> contains four multiple-choice tests\u2014English, mathematics, reading, and science\u2014and an optional writing test. These tests are designed to measure skills that are most important for success in postsecondary education and that are acquired in secondary education.\u00a0The score range for each of the four multiple-choice tests is 1\u201336. The Composite score is the average of the four test scores rounded to the nearest whole number.<\/p>

AP (Advanced Placement examinations)<\/strong> are exams offered in United States by the College Board and are taken each May by students. The tests are the culmination of year-long Advanced Placement courses. AP exams have a multiple-choice section and a free-response section. The score is out of 5.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Quizzes, projects and monthly tests are held throughout the year in each subject to monitor students\u2019 progress. Homework and class participation are also an important part of the assessment. Scheduled examinations are held at the end of each term.<\/p>

Report Cards are issued three times a term with scheduled parent-teacher conferences during the year.\u00a0 If a parent wishes to see any staff member, a meeting can be arranged.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
