SAT Preparation
As part of our university-preparatory pathway, students receive preparation for the SAT, with students taking the SAT in Grade 10.
This provides students with an important opportunity to demonstrate their academic readiness and begin strengthening their university application profile early.
Advanced Placement (AP)
Our AP Program provides students with the opportunity to undertake college-level coursework while still in high school and demonstrate their academic abilities through internationally recognized AP examinations.
For students following the Scientific (علمي) pathway, the AP program includes four required AP examinations:
- Precalculus or Calculus
- Two of the following:
- AP Chemistry

- AP Physics
- One AP Elective
Through AP coursework and examinations, students develop advanced subject knowledge, analytical thinking, independent learning, and academic skills that support their transition to higher education.
Preparing Students for University

Through our American-style curriculum, SAT preparation, AP program, academic enrichment, and university guidance, AJSS prepares students to pursue higher education opportunities in Palestine, the United States, and universities around the world.
