School Excursions

In an age where our lives are increasingly digital, we would like to offer your school the opportunity to be a part of our mission to help educate students in the hands-on aspects of animal care, stable management, and horseback riding, which we offer through after-school tailored education programs and on-site school field trips. Our programs cater for children from Early Years to Year 9.

We have worked with schools in Amman in the past (International Community School ICS, Kings Academy, The French International School in Amman & Little Academy) and are passionate about providing opportunities for children to develop interests in new activities. We strive to play a positive role in teaching kids how to love and respect animals they share the world with.

Our after-school programs and field trips offer an exciting and educational introduction to farming, nature, and animals. They strive to engage all the senses: touch, feel, sound as well as incorporating play, for the younger students, as they learn!
The Alia Alassaf Academy is the ideal learning environment where students can participate in a range of hands-on activities. We have a large variety of domestic farm animals that live on site that have all been rescued. As part of our education program, we include field-based learning about these animals and their specialist care
