About
Amman, founded in 7000 B.C., the capital and largest city in Jordan, is situated in a rolling area of northwest Jordan, just twenty-five miles from the Dead Sea. Seven surrounding hills, known as jabals, helped shaped the city. Amman is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world having been home to a multitude of civilizations over the years - the Ammonites, Assyrians, Persians, Greeks, Nabateans and Romans, Byzantines and Umayyad Arabs.
Today Amman is a prospering modern metropolis filled with ancient ruins, art galleries, and museums. It serves as a hub within the Middle East for commerce and trade. With a tradition of welcoming refugees and immigrants from nearby countries, Amman is a multi-cultural and multi denominational city and one of the most liberal and westernized cities in the region.
The Middlebury School in Jordan is based at the University of Jordan, the country's oldest public university. Founded in 1962, the university is recognized for its commitment to research, academic excellence, and strong liberal arts tradition. Its dynamic campus provides an ideal setting for students from a wide range of academic disciplines to deepen their Arabic language skills while engaging with Jordan's rich culture, history, and contemporary society.
