Program Management
AMIDEAST - Education Abroad in Jordan
The program is managed by AMIDEAST/Jordan in conjunction with AMIDEAST headquarters in Washington, D.C. AMIDEAST works collaboratively with the Institute of Traditional Islamic Arts and Architecture to oversee the academic curriculum and implementation of the program. It also manages all logistical elements of the program, including the on-site orientation, host family placement and supervision, arrangements for optional travel excursions, and the planning of special events and extra-curricular activities. Finally, AMIDEAST provides comprehensive support to both participants and administrators in the event of any problems or unusual circumstances.

Other Program Information
Orientation
Upon arrival in Amman, AMIDEAST Education Abroad Program students participate in an orientation designed to introduce them to Jordanian culture and daily life and familiarize them with the logistics of the program. Topics such as safety and health, cultural adjustment, program regulations, participant responsibilities and other essential information are all discussed during orientation.
Accommodation and Meals
Students will live and share meals with Jordanian host families throughout their program. All families have been carefully screened by AMIDEAST/Jordan from a database of qualified applicants and families generally host two AMIDEAST students at a time. All host families are Arabic-speaking; English, however, is spoken in most of the homes.
AMIDEAST matches students with host families using a variety of criteria.
