The King of Jordan went to a prestigious prep school in Massachusetts and he learned so much that he thought his country should have one of it's own. This Fall, the King's Academy accepted it's first class of students.

    • It's fairly common for the bright (and usually well-off) children of Jordan to be sent to America or Britain for their university schooling. It'll be interesting to see if the King's Academy can gain the prestige and recognition to keep the best of those students in Jordan and even attract the brightest from around the region and beyond. It could be a really amazing experience, especially for those coming from outside the country...

    • The King wants to bring in students from all over the Middle East; Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Palestine and eventually even Israel and the West. I think It could be an amazing education, what do you think? Would you send your kids?
