Key facts
Everyone is up by 7. Breakfast at home, uniforms, school bags, and the parent on drop-off duty leaves by 7:45. Amman has 29 international schools to choose from. Curricula in the mix: IB, British, American, French, and more. Typical tuition sits around $15,770/child/year — the range is $1,760 to $29,780.
One parent works — from home, from the office, or from a cafe. Home broadband averages 50 Mbps, so video calls don't drop. You live somewhere family-friendly — Abdoun fits the brief: Wealthy West Amman district with embassies, the Abdoun Bridge, malls, and the highest concentration of cafes/restaurants. The default landing zone for senior expats and Jordanian elite.
School pickup at 15:30. Then one of: park, sport, music lesson, playdate.
Family dinner at home is the norm — eating out with two kids is an event, not a habit. Rent for a family-sized flat in the centre runs about $443/mo — the single biggest line item. Total family monthly lifestyle (rent + utilities + groceries + 2 school fees amortised + transit): roughly $3,361.
