Directory
The directory of Arabic teaching providers — private institutes and university language centres — with verified profiles, sources and the criteria that distinguish them.
In short
Jordan's Arabic teaching market divides between private institutes, which concentrate in Amman and offer the widest choice of formats, and university language centres, which sit inside universities and sometimes offer credit-bearing study. Private institutes typically provide the greatest flexibility and the most integrated MSA-and-colloquial models; university centres can suit learners who need academic credit or access to university facilities. Which matters more depends on your objective, not on the category itself.
No institution is described here as universally "the best". Each list states the criteria behind it, and the right choice depends on the student's objective. Criteria applied:

2 centre(s) in this directory.
Every centre in this directory is in Amman or Irbid, which is where the market is concentrated. Centres elsewhere would be added on the same verification standard.
This directory does not publish course fee figures. Academic-programme fees vary by term, hours, format and level, and change annually. Obtain the current schedule from the centre directly, and ask specifically whether the course you want will actually run in your term.
Priority order: official Jordanian government authorities → official institution websites → accreditation organisations → official ranking organisations → Visit Jordan → other reliable sources. Claims that could not be verified from these are marked as unverified rather than presented as fact.
