Alliance Academy Jordan (AAJ), established in 2014 by the local Christian and Missionary Alliance (CMA) church, has grown from 54 students to 350, including 17 with disabilities like cerebral palsy and autism. It played a pivotal role in Jordan’s push towards inclusive education, collaborating on a government initiative aiming for 30 inclusive public schools by 2025, supported by American funding. Despite challenges like teacher training deficits and low disability school enrollment, AAJ’s small class sizes and upcoming American diploma program position it uniquely for student integration.
