School Vision:
American Academy Jordan believes teachers transform the lives of students, families and community. Through holistic education, we take joy in raising A NEW GENERATION with wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Mission Statement:
American Academy Jordan is raising a new generation of leaders, to love one’s city, one’s country, and to be ambassadors to the world with excellence in wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Our students are explorers, adventurers, with strong character in and out of the classroom, with moral integrity, always curious about the world around them, and to be lifetime learners. This generation demonstrates great determination, creative and analytical problem-solving with ingenuity, actively engaging in the community, being established in their given abilities, demonstrating love and respect across nationalities, ethnicities, religions, men and women, with sincere understanding of equality, seeking to esteem others higher than themselves. Core Values:
Loving
“Love and respect one another.” Love selflessly protects, trusts, hopes, and perseveres. Perseverant
“Be a finisher.” Perseverance is not giving up when the going gets tough. Responsible
“With autonomy comes responsibility.” Responsibility is taking ownership of one’s actions. Honest
“Honesty is the best policy.” Telling the truth brings freedom, honor and delight. Thankful
“Always give thanks.” Being thankful makes the heart happy. Forgiving
“Be quick to forgive.” When we forgive one another, we too will be forgiven. School Overview:
